Answer 1

The correct syntax is as follows (Array(...) for arrays, new Nested(..) for nested annotations):

import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.ScriptAssert

@ScriptAssert.List(Array(
  new ScriptAssert(script = "...", lang = "javascript"),
  new ScriptAssert(script = "...", lang = "javascript")))
class Test

Did you try it? Using Scala 2.8, this works for me. I just got the syntax wrong in my initial answer, but now it's corrected. – Marty

I did try (against scala 2.8 and hibernate validator), and it doesn't work. Did you try? – Dehart

Your code gives "error: org.hibernate.validator.constraints.ScriptAssert does not have a constructor: new ScriptAssert(script = "...", lang = "javascript")))" – Dehart

You need to put validation-api into the classpath. Here's the command I used for compiling the thing: ~/scala/dist/bin/scalac -cp /Users/luc/Downloads/hib/hibernate-validator-4.1.0.Final.jar:/Users/luc/Downloads/hib/validation-api-1.0.CR5.jar test.scala – Marty
