No, please.... ;-) No programming language in annotations.
Is that even possible??
You are trying to avoid new annotations, and build logic with smaller ones.
It feels super-icky to me...
Off the top of my head, something like this;
void someMethod( @PaulsDreaming(1,4,8) Integer something );
@ConstraintFactory( PaulsDreamFactory.class )
public interface @PaulsDreaming
{
int[] value();
}
public class PaulsDreamFactory
{
public Predicate<Integer> create( PaulsDreaming annot )
{
int[] values = annot.values();
return new RangePredicate( values[0], values[1])
.or( new MinPredicate( values[2] ) );
}
}
