@NotNull 和 @NotEmpty 和@NotBlank 区别，以及配合@valid使用

 @NotBlank的注释

The annotated element must not be null and must contain at least one non-whitespace character. Accepts CharSequence.

只用于字符串String，字符串不能为null，并且不能为空字符串,例："","     "

/**
 * The annotated element must not be {@code null} and must contain at least one
 * non-whitespace character. Accepts {@code CharSequence}.
 *
 * @author Hardy Ferentschik
 * @since 2.0
 *
 * @see Character#isWhitespace(char)
 */
@Documented
@Constraint(validatedBy = { })
@Target({ METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER, TYPE_USE })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Repeatable(List.class)
public @interface NotBlank {

......
	}
}

​

  @NotEmpty的注释

The annotated element must not be null nor empty. Supported types are:

• CharSequence (length of character sequence is evaluated)
• Collection (collection size is evaluated)
• Map (map size is evaluated)
• Array (array length is evaluated)

只用于字符串、集合、map、数组，且不能为null，并且长度或者大小大于1

/**

 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code CharSequence} (length of character sequence is evaluated)</li>

 * <li>Array (array length is evaluated)</li>

@Documented
@Constraint(validatedBy = { })
@Target({ METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER, TYPE_USE })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Repeatable(List.class)
public @interface NotEmpty {

........
}

 @NotNull的注释

The annotated element must not be null. Accepts any type.

适用于所有类型，且不能为null

/**
 * The annotated element must not be {@code null}.
 * Accepts any type.

 * @author Emmanuel Bernard

@Target({ METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER, TYPE_USE })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Repeatable(List.class)
@Documented
@Constraint(validatedBy = { })
public @interface NotNull {

.....
}

 总结：

@NotBlank 只用于字符串String，字符串不能为null，并且不能为空字符串

@NotEmpty 只用于字符串、集合、map、数组，且不能为null，并且长度或者大小大于1

@NotNull 适用于所有类型，且不能为null

配合@valid使用，直接看代码

@RestController
public class ItemController {

    @RequestMapping("/item/add")
    public void addItem(@Valid Item item) {
        doSomething();
    }
}

public class Item {

    @NotNull(message = "id不能为空")
    @Min(value = 1, message = "id必须为正整数")
    private Long id;

    @Valid 
    @NotNull(message = "props不能为空")
    @Size(min = 1, message = "props至少要有一个自定义属性")
    private List<Prop> props;
}

public class Prop {

    @NotBlank(message = "pidName不能为空")
    private String pidName;

    @NotBlank(message = "vidName不能为空")
    private String vidName;
}
