How to Fix Error Custom Anotation in Spring Boot?

Question

I use spring boot 2.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT. I created a custom annotation:

@Target({ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.FIELD})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Constraint(validatedBy = UniqueUserNameValidator.class)
@Documented
public @interface UniqueUserName {

    String message() default "{truyenmvc.uName.UniqueUserName.message}";

    Class<?>[] groups() default {};

    Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};
}

And Validation:

public class UniqueUserNameValidator implements ConstraintValidator<UniqueUserName, String> {

    private final UserService userServicel;

    @Autowired
    public UniqueUserNameValidator(UserService userServicel) {
        this.userServicel = userServicel;
    }

    @Override
    public void initialize(UniqueUserName constraintAnnotation) {

    }

    @Override
    public boolean isValid(String userName, ConstraintValidatorContext constraintValidatorContext) {
        return userName != null && !userServicel.checkUserNameExits(userName);
    }
}

In Entity

@Entity
@Table(schema = "", uniqueConstraints = {@UniqueConstraint(columnNames = {"uEmail"}),
        @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = {"uDname"}), @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = {"uName"})})
@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
public class User implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "uID", unique = true, nullable = false)
    private Long uID;
    @NotEmpty(message = "{truyenmvc.uName.empty.message}")
    @UniqueUserName
    @Column(name = "uName", unique = true, nullable = false, length = 30)
    private String uName;
}

But when saving the new User to the db again error:

    18-10-15 08:58:35:196 ERROR http-nio-8080-exec-2 o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[.[dispatcherServlet]:175 - Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is javax.validation.ValidationException: HV000064: Unable to instantiate ConstraintValidator: com.apt.truyenmvc.validator.impl.UniqueUserNameValidator.] with root cause

I think you should use @RestControllerAdvice annotation because constraint violation is an exception. Handling this by exception I think is more efficient than using a custom validator. You can use validators for your specific business logic.

For example:

public class ConstraintViolationException extends BaseApiRuntimeException {


  private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;


  public ConstraintViolationException([module eg. enum of project modules] module, String resource) {
    super(module, resource);
  }

}

BaseApiRuntimeException extends only RuntimeException. Wrapping it will give you more flexibility to customize your exception messages.

Building the exception handler using controller advice:

@RestControllerAdvice
public class CommonExceptionHandler {

  @ExceptionHandler(ConstraintViolationException.class)
  public ResponseEntity<ErrorDetail> handleConstraintViolationException(
      HttpServletRequest request, ConstraintViolationException base) {

    LOG.info("CONSTRAINT VIOLATION EXCEPTION: ", base);

    ErrorDetail error = new ErrorDetail<ConstraintViolationException>().setErrorDetails(
        CONSTRAINT_VIOLATION, base, "CONSTRAINT VIOLATION USERNAME ALREADY EXIST.");

    return new ResponseEntity<ErrorDetail>(error, HttpStatus.UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY);

  }
}

Here you can create your own wrapper to generate your custom response. In this example is the ErrorDetail Class. Search RestControllerAdvice for more details. You can also add basePackages to this annotation for your specific use cases.

EDIT: service layer

You can use this like:

throw new ConstraintViolationException([module package e.g enum or string],
          "any custom message here: " + anything);

I changed the UniqueUserNameValidator class:

public class UniqueUserNameValidator implements ConstraintValidator<UniqueUserName, String> {

@Autowired
private UserService userServicel;

private String message;

@Override
public void initialize(UniqueUserName constraintAnnotation) {
    message = constraintAnnotation.message();
}

@Override
public boolean isValid(String userName, ConstraintValidatorContext constraintValidatorContext) {
    boolean valid = true;
    try {
        valid = userName != null && !userServicel.checkUserNameExits(userName);
    } catch (Exception e) {

    }
    if (!valid) {
        constraintValidatorContext.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate(message)
                .addConstraintViolation()
                .disableDefaultConstraintViolation();
    }
    return valid;
}

}

And it was no error. Thank you everyone for helping me!!!
