在网上搜索的内容,大致如下:
验证框中@NotEmpty、@NotBlank、@NotNull乍一看还是容易弄混的。主要使用情况记录一下:
@NotEmpty 用在集合类上面
@NotBlank 用在String上面
@NotNull 用在基本类型上
只有简单的结果,但是再更具体一点的内容就搜不到了,所以去看了看源码,发现了如下的注释:
1. @NotEmpty
/** * Asserts that the annotated string, collection, map or array is not {@code null} or empty. * * @author Emmanuel Bernard * @author Hardy Ferentschik */
2. @NotBlank
/** * Validate that the annotated string is not {@code null} or empty. * The difference to {@code NotEmpty} is that trailing whitespaces are getting ignored. * * @author Hardy Ferentschik */
“The difference to {@code NotEmpty} is that trailing whitespaces are getting ignored.” –>
和{@code NotEmpty}不同的是,尾部空格被忽略,也就是说,纯空格的String也是不符合规则的。所以才会说@NotBlank用于String。
3. @NotNull
/** * The annotated element must not be {@code null}. * Accepts any type. * * @author Emmanuel Bernard */
