Hi,

You could abuse the @min and @max annotations.

See below link for examples

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/validator/4.0.1/reference/en/html_single/

Example:

Example 2.13. Driver

hi,

i tried like this

@Min(0)
@Max(2)
public int getGi_qa_status() {
return gi_qa_status;
}
public void setGi_qa_status(int gi_qa_status) {
this.gi_qa_status = gi_qa_status;
}

but still that column is accepting numbers not within that range..i tried @ not null annotation also............that also not working.........................i am using java version 6...and added following jar file.......hibernate-validator-4.1.0.Final
