Setting a character limit for a string using Java annotations

I'm trying to create a string with a character length restriction of 12 for my JBOSS Seam project. The string must either be 12 characters or blank. My length annotation is correct which is the following:

    @Length(min = 12,max = 12)

However when I try to put a null value in there I get an InvalidStateException: validation fail error. Any ideas how to allow this?

Solution

  • Well I decided to not rely on the @Length annotation and instead created my own custom validator class to do the job and that worked out well. Thanks anyway!
