Employee.java

package com.sample.model;

import javax.validation.constraints.AssertTrue;

public class Employee {

private int id;

@AssertTrue
private boolean isExperienced;

public Employee(int id, boolean isExperienced) {
this.id = id;
this.isExperienced = isExperienced;
	}

public int getId() {
return id;
	}

public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
	}

public boolean isExperienced() {
return isExperienced;
	}

public void setExperienced(boolean isExperienced) {
this.isExperienced = isExperienced;
	}

}

Test.java

package com.sample.test;

import java.util.Set;

import javax.validation.*;
import javax.validation.ValidatorFactory;

import com.sample.model.Employee;

public class Test {
private static ValidatorFactory validatorFactory = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory();
private static Validator validator = validatorFactory.getValidator();

private static void validateBean(Employee emp) {
		System.out.println("************************************");
		Set> validationErrors = validator.validate(emp);

if (validationErrors.size() == 0) {
			System.out.println("No validation errors....");
		}

for (ConstraintViolation violation : validationErrors) {
			System.out.println(violation.getPropertyPath() + "," + violation.getMessage());
		}
		System.out.println("");
	}

public static void main(String args[]) {

		Employee emp1 = new Employee(123, false);
		System.out.println("Validation errors on bean emp1");
		validateBean(emp1);

		Employee emp2 = new Employee(234, true);
		System.out.println("Validation errors on bean emp2");
		validateBean(emp2);
	}
}

Output

Validation errors on bean emp1
************************************
isExperienced,must be true

Validation errors on bean emp2
************************************
No validation errors....
