Annotation Type EqualProperties

@Target(value={TYPE,ANNOTATION_TYPE})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Constraint(validatedBy=EqualPropertiesValidator.class)
 @Documented
public @interface EqualProperties

The bean has properties with equal values. Add this constraint at class level and name the property names which have to be equal. Properties which have Null values don't violate against this constraint. Annotate those properties with NotNull. Set violationOnProperty() to true if you want the ConstraintViolation on each of the violating properties instead of the bean.
