How would you go about supporting @Max / @Min for java.math.BigDecimal ? These would be more useful, since think a lot of this sort of validation is intended to fulfill business rules and business math requires exact (not floating point) math. And even in situations you use floating point math, the input and state should be probably a BigDecimal value but internally calculations could be done (for sake of expedience) using a double conversion. I would probably create a separate @MaxDouble and @MinDouble annotation, if at all, but I wouldn't feel easy suggesting users build constraints using floating point comparisons. _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
