Employee.java

package com.sample.model;

import javax.validation.constraints.DecimalMin;

public class Employee {

 @DecimalMin(value = "500")
 private int id;

 private String name;

 public Employee(int id, String name) {
  this.id = id;
  this.name = name;
 }

 public int getId() {
  return id;
 }

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

 public String getName() {
  return name;
 }

 public void setName(String name) {
  this.name = name;
 }

}

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<ConstraintViolation<Employee>> validationErrors = validator.validate(emp);

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

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

 public static void main(String args[]) {

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

  Employee emp2 = new Employee(23456789, "Siva");
  System.out.println("Validation errors on bean emp2");
  validateBean(emp2);
 }
}

Output

Validation errors on bean emp1

************************************

id,must be greater than or equal to 500

Validation errors on bean emp2
