Annotation Type NotEmptyAlternateIfOtherHasValue

@Documented
 @Constraint(validatedBy=NotEmptyAlternateIfOtherHasValueValidator.class)
 @Target(value={TYPE,ANNOTATION_TYPE})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface NotEmptyAlternateIfOtherHasValue

The annotated bean must contain at least three properties:

• a field that has to be checked (option field)
• a field that has alternate to be checked (option fieldAlternate)
• a field which entry is compared against a value (option fieldCompare and valueCompare)

if the entry of fieldCompare matches valueCompare, field or alternate fieldAlternate must not be empty (null or "").
Supported types are beans, null elements are considered valid.
