Remember, a String with just whitespace may not be considered as empty String by one program but considered as empty String by others, so, depending upon your situation, you can include the logic to check for that as well. A String reference variable points to null if it has not been initialized and an empty String is a String without any character or a string of zero length. * Both attributes must share the same type.In Java, since null and empty are two different concepts, it's a little bit tricky for beginners to check if a String is both not null and not empty. * Marks an attribute as overriding the attribute of a composing constraint.
For example " classes implementing the constraint * message key made of the fully-qualified class name of the constraint followed by * String message() default } which should default to an error * Each constraint annotation must host the following attributes: * A given constraint annotation must be annotated by a annotation which refers to its list of constraint validation implementations. * Marks an annotation as being a Jakarta Bean Validation constraint. The namespace for Bean Validation XML descriptors has been changed to for META-INF/validation.xml and for constraint mapping files (see XML configuration: META-INF/validation.xml)
