Missing Annotation class for NotEmptyCuppyConstraint in Hybris Wiki trail for Validation

[geffchang]

Hybris 5.7 Validation trail: https://wiki.hybris.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=294094213

In the Validation trail, under "Writing a custom validation constraint", I'm getting an error when I click "Create" for a new "NotEmptyCuppyConstraint". The cause is the blank read-only "Annotation class" field. I already did an "ant all updatesystem -Dtenant=master" before starting the Hybris server.

How do I fix this?

I found that hybris does not support custom annotation for custom constraint.Look at this class AttributeConstraintValidator.In this class,look at this method isConstraintValidForAccessor.

I checked the API for AttributeConstraint validator (https://download.hybris.com/api/5.7.0/commercesuite/), but I do not see a method named isConstraintValidForAccessor.

This is a private method in AttributeConstraintValidator.That's really weird.

By the way,can i add you as friend on Skype?So we can communicate on skype about hybris whenever we have problems

Your workaround method does not work in hybris 6.0.I tried.But your method works with TypeConstraint

Hi,Did you find the answer?

[geffchang]

I do not have correct answer, but I found a workaround to make the constraint work. See my answer: http://answers.sap.com/answers/12787051/view.html

My workaround was to manually define the Annotation class Default value with "de.hybris.platform.cuppytrail.constraints.NotEmptyCuppy" via HMC:

If somebody else can provide a reason why I got the error (Did I miss something, or is there a problem with the wiki / steps?), I'd appreciate it.
