Annotation Interface AssertFalse

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(METHOD) public @interface AssertFalse
Validates that a no-arg method returns false.

Place on a zero-parameter method returning boolean or Boolean. The method is invoked during validation; a false return passes, a true return fails. A null Boolean return is treated as valid (pair with field constraints if absence must fail).

Typical use is cross-field rules: 


 @AssertFalse(message = "debug must be off in production", path = "debug")
 private boolean isDebugEnabledInProduction() {
     return production && debug;
 }
