hibernate validiate list of integer

Question

I have a list of integer like this:

private List<Integer> indexes;

Is there a way to valid individual member to be in a range of 0-9? I see @Range and @Valid but can't find a way to make it work with List.

Thanks for your help,

It doesn't work with @Range. The error is: javax.validation.UnexpectedTypeException: No validator could be found for type: java.util.List<java.lang.Integer> — Sean Nguyen

Only @Size and @Valid can be used on Collections, however you can use some wrapper object instead of "Integer" to validate your ints, e.g.:

public class Index {
  @Range( min = 0, max = 9 )
  private Integer value;
}

public class Container {
  @Valid
  private List<Index> indexes;
}

This should do the trick
