Annotation Interface PropertyValue

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({FIELD,METHOD})
public @interface PropertyValue

Encapsulate the value for inject it in a property.

It's used to fill the values of a validator, calculator, etc before execute it.

Example:

  @EntityValidator(validator=CheapProductValidator.class, properties= {
    @PropertyValue(name="limit", value="100"),
    @PropertyValue(name="description"),
    @PropertyValue(name="price", from="unitPrice")
  })
  public class Product {
  ...
 

For example, in this case before executing the validation of CheapProductValidator OpenXava does:

• Put "100" in the property "limit" of CheapProductValidator.
• Moves the value of 'description' of the current product to 'description' of CheapProductValidator.
• Moves the value of 'unitPrice' of the current product to 'price' of CheapProductValidator.
