title: Hibernate Validator - @Length - How to specify separate message for min and max?
body: <p>I am using Hibernate validator for form validation in my web-app.  I am using the @Length annotation for my String attribute as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Length(min = 5, message = "The field must be at least 5 characters")
  private String myString;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I have a need to display a different message if the String exceeds 50 characters.  Is there a way to use the out-of-the-box @Length validator to do this?  An example of what I would like to do (compiler will not let me) is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Length(min = 5, message = "The field must be at least 5 characters")
  @Length(max = 50, message = "The field must be less than 50 characters")
  private String myString;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried @Max and @Min and they do not do what I want.  Any input would be greatly appreciated!</p>
