public class FieldError

extends ObjectError

Encapsulates a field error, i.e. a reason for rejecting a specific field value.

A field error gets created with a single code but uses 3 codes for message resolution, in the following order:

• first: code + "." + object name + "." + field;
• then: code + "." + field;
• finally: code.

E.g.: code "typeMismatch", field "age", object name "user":

• 1. try "typeMismatch.user.age";
• 2. try "typeMismatch.age";
• 3. try "typeMismatch".

Thus, this resolution algorithm can be leveraged for example to show specific messages for binding errors like "required" and "typeMismatch":

• at the object + field level ("age" field, but only on "user");
• field level (all "age" fields, no matter which object name);
• or general level (all fields, on any object).
