java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: can't parse argument number: Phone

java spring-mvc annotations constraints

The solution to your problem is right in your question:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Phone"

You try to parse the String "Phone" as a number. Which, of course, is not possible, as it does not contain any numbers, but only characters.

Since i used the @phone annotation as validator it rising some exception as illegal argument.Any clues? How to have our own annotation in this im using @Ajay for phone validating but its not working.Please help me to resolve this problem and send me code for having customize validation. or please share some links to understand about custom validation.

This is my model class:

            package com.dineshonjava.bean;


            import com.dineshonjava.validator.Ajay;
           @Entity
            @Table(name="employees")
            @SecondaryTable(name="employeedetails")
            public class EmployeeBean {
            @Ajay
            private String phone;


            public String getPhone() {
                return phone;
            }
            public void setPhone(String phone) {
                this.phone = phone;
            }

            }

This is my customized annotation class.This code i got it from internet but its showing error when implementing in my project.i dono how to have customize validation in my project. Ajay Annotation:

            package com.dineshonjava.validator;
             import java.lang.annotation.Documented;
            import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
            import java.lang.annotation.Target;
            import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
            import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
           import javax.validation.Constraint;
            import javax.validation.Payload;
            @Documented
            @Constraint(validatedBy = AjayValidator.class)
            @Target( { ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD })
            @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
            public @interface Ajay {
                 String message() default "{Phone}";

                Class<?>[] groups() default {};

                Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};

            }

This is my Validator class here i did coding for validating my phone number here i did customized validation for that @Ajay annotation i did validation in this validator class. Ajay Validator:

            package com.dineshonjava.validator;

            import javax.validation.ConstraintValidator;
            import javax.validation.ConstraintValidatorContext;

            public class AjayValidator implements ConstraintValidator<Ajay, String> {

                    @Override
                    public void initialize(Ajay ajay) { 

                    }
                  @Override
            public boolean isValid(String phone, ConstraintValidatorContext cxt) {
                if(phone == null) {
                    return false;
                }
                return phone.matches("[0-9()-/.]*");
            }

            }

where can i change that bro can u please tell me in detail

The lines below the NumberFormatException state, that the parsing of the String is coming from the MessageFormat class. In Validators, the message is this String message() default "{Phone}"; So it seems that your code is trying to parse the default message {Phone} as an Integer. Try some different approaches with the default message. You can use plain text or message bundle keys. Start with plain text: String message() default "Phone Validator Message"; and see if this works. If yes, {Phone} seems to trigger something different then plain text ;-)

Got the solution. Thanks for your help bro. :-)
