The annotated element must be a number whose value must be lower or equal to the specified maximum.

Supported types are:

  • BigDecimal
  • BigInteger
  • byte, short, int, long, and their respective wrappers
Note that double and float are not supported due to rounding errors (some providers might provide some approximative support).

null elements are considered valid.
