'Spring validation using dynamic values (perhaps read from a db)
our code base has DTOs with fields which are validated using Spring validations. These DTO's and validations are shared between several different projects/micro services as a library jar.
We have a new use case which requires one of the validations to check against a list of valid string values.
This lists, however, changes all the time so I can't just be written into the code and we are hoping it is something we can read dynamically, from a DB or something.
If the validation were only used within one project this would be pretty easy. Just add the data to that projects db.
However, is there a pattern/technique to doing this when the validations are a shared lib?
Thank you!
Solution 1:[1]
If the data comes from a DB it can not be hardcoded in a lib.
I would code a normal Spring Boot validator that uses JPA to retrieve the data.
