Annotation Interface EditView

@Repeatable(EditViews.class)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({FIELD,METHOD})
public @interface EditView

View of the referenced object used to modify it from a reference or collection.

Applies to references and collections.

If you omit this annotation, then the default view of the referenced object is used when modifying the object from the reference. With this annotation you can indicate that it uses another view.
Example for a reference:

  @ManyToOne 
  @EditView("SimpleEdition")
  private Seller seller;
 

For collections, this annotation overrides the view specified by CollectionView when editing an existing element. If you use @CollectionView("Simple") it's equivalent to using both @NewView("Simple") and @EditView("Simple"). You can use @EditView to specify a different view just for editing.
Example for a collection:

  @OneToMany(mappedBy="invoice")
  @CollectionView("Simple")
  @EditView("SimpleEdition") // Overrides @CollectionView for editing
  private Collection<InvoiceDetail> details;
