Annotation Type Password

@Documented
 @Constraint(validatedBy=PasswordValidator.class)
 @Target(value={METHOD,FIELD,ANNOTATION_TYPE,CONSTRUCTOR,PARAMETER})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Password

The annotated element must be a valid password.
Supported types are Strings, other Objects are transfered to Strings, null elements are considered valid.
There are the following rules checked (with minRules parameter the number rules can be defined that have to be fulfilled):

• lowercase
• upercase
• digits
• special character

Using blacklist you can give a comma separated list of words which are not allowed to be part of the password. Default is no entry.
Using disalowedStartChars you can define characters which are not allowed as first character in the password. Default is no entry.
With maxRepeatChar you can limit the repeat of a single character, default is 0 which means no limitation.
size limits should be checked by separate size annotation.
