(Quick Reference)

max

Purpose

Ensures a value does not exceed a maximum value.

Examples

age max: new Date()
price max: 999F

Description

Sets the maximum value of a class that implements java.lang.Comparable. The type of the value must be the same as the property.

Note that constraints are only evaluated once which may be relevant for a constraint that relies on a value like an instance of java.util.Date.

class User {
    ...

static constraints = { // this Date object is created when the constraints are evaluated, not // each time an instance of the User class is validated. birthDate max: new Date() } }

This constraint influences schema generation.

Error Code: className.propertyName.max.exceeded
