请注意，您还可以创建一个验证器来检查String是否为枚举的一部分。

public enum UserType { PERSON, COMPANY }

@NotNull
@StringEnumeration(enumClass = UserCivility.class)
private String title;

@Documented
@Constraint(validatedBy = StringEnumerationValidator.class)
@Target({ METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, PARAMETER, CONSTRUCTOR })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface StringEnumeration {

  String message() default "{com.xxx.bean.validation.constraints.StringEnumeration.message}";
  Class<?>[] groups() default {};
  Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};

  Class<? extends Enum<?>> enumClass();

}

public class StringEnumerationValidator implements ConstraintValidator<StringEnumeration, String> {

  private Set<String> AVAILABLE_ENUM_NAMES;

  @Override
  public void initialize(StringEnumeration stringEnumeration) {
    Class<? extends Enum<?>> enumSelected = stringEnumeration.enumClass();
    //Set<? extends Enum<?>> enumInstances = EnumSet.allOf(enumSelected);
    Set<? extends Enum<?>> enumInstances = Sets.newHashSet(enumSelected.getEnumConstants());
    AVAILABLE_ENUM_NAMES = FluentIterable
            .from(enumInstances)
            .transform(PrimitiveGuavaFunctions.ENUM_TO_NAME)
            .toSet();
  }

  @Override
  public boolean isValid(String value, ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
    if ( value == null ) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return AVAILABLE_ENUM_NAMES.contains(value);
    }
  }

}

这很好，因为您不会丢失“错误值”的信息。您会收到类似的消息

值“ someBadUserType”不是有效的用户类型。有效的UserType值为：PERSON，COMPANY

编辑

对于那些想要非番石榴版本的人，它应该可以使用类似以下的功能：

public class StringEnumerationValidator implements ConstraintValidator<StringEnumeration, String> {

  private Set<String> AVAILABLE_ENUM_NAMES;

  public static Set<String> getNamesSet(Class<? extends Enum<?>> e) {
     Enum<?>[] enums = e.getEnumConstants();
     String[] names = new String[enums.length];
     for (int i = 0; i < enums.length; i++) {
         names[i] = enums[i].name();
     }
     Set<String> mySet = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(names));
     return mySet;
  }

  @Override
  public void initialize(StringEnumeration stringEnumeration) {
    Class<? extends Enum<?>> enumSelected = stringEnumeration.enumClass();
    AVAILABLE_ENUM_NAMES = getNamesSet(enumSelected);
  }

  @Override
  public boolean isValid(String value, ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
    if ( value == null ) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return AVAILABLE_ENUM_NAMES.contains(value);
    }
  }

}
