I am using 5.2.13.Final version of hibernate-core and 5.2.13.Final version of hibernate-validator.
@NotEmpty
@Column(name = "SSO_ID", unique = true, nullable = false)
private String ssoId;
@NotEmpty comes in picture when I need the following validation message from themessage.properties file when ssoId is empty:
NotEmpty.user.ssoId=SSO ID can not be blank.
But @NotEmpty is deprecated in the latest version. What is its equivalent?
Generally, as something is marked as deprecated in a javadoc, the javadoc explains also what is the alternative to.
The org.hibernate.validator.constraints.NotEmpty annotation javadoc states (emphasis is mine) :
Deprecated. use the standard javax.validation.constraints.NotEmpty constraint instead
Note that since Hibernate 5, Hibernate deprecated several of its specific validation constraint classes in favor to standard JSR 380-bean validation classes.
Note also that the Hibernate Validator 6 library is actually the reference implementation of this JSR.
Here is an updated list of deprecated API for Hibernate validator.
