Annotation Type IsNumeric

@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface IsNumeric

Requires that the value be a numeric value. If it is not, it will attempt to perform a conversion according either using a provided pattern, or using the locale-dependant default pattern. Usually numeric conversions are performed automatically. You should use this annotation only if you want to specify a custom numeric pattern.

defaultValue

public abstract java.lang.String defaultValue

If set to something different than the default (the empty string), specifies a default value that is used whenever a null value is received. The default value is parsed to a BigDecimal. Unlike IsDate and similar annotations, the default value does NOT go through the pattern parser, in order to avoid dependancies with different locales (Since, unlike dates, some fundamental symbols in the pattern are not literal - like decimal and thousands separators)

Returns:

Default value
