Annotation Interface NewView

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

View of the referenced object used to create a new one 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 creating a new object from the reference. With this annotation you can indicate that it uses another view.
Example for a reference:

  @ManyToOne 
  @NewView("SimpleCreation")
  private Seller seller;
 

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

  @OneToMany(mappedBy="invoice")
  @CollectionView("Simple")
  @NewView("SimpleCreation") // Overrides @CollectionView for creation
  private Collection<InvoiceDetail> details;
