Acceptance of specific values using Hibernate

Question

If I use the annotation @Size(min = 1, max = 50) in Hibernate, I can write a string to the database with at least one and at most 50 characters.

But now I need to restrict the possible values to only two numbers: 12342 and 13409.

Is there any annotation that allows this?

You can use the Pattern annotation for example:

@Pattern(regexp="12342|13409")
private String string;

Otherwise you can write a custom constraint.

See the documentation for further information.
