Annotation Type UnwrapValidatedValue

@Documented
@Target(value={METHOD,FIELD,CONSTRUCTOR,PARAMETER})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface UnwrapValidatedValue

When specified on properties (as represented by fields or property getters), parameters or executables, the value of the annotated element will be unwrapped from a container type prior to validation. This is useful when working with wrapper types such as JAXBElement or an Optional type where constraints should not apply to the container but to the wrapped element:

 @Size(max = 10)
 @UnwrapValidatedValue
 private JAXBElement<String> name;
 

For each type to be unwrapped, a corresponding ValidatedValueUnwrapper implementation must be registered.
