I would like to know how to pass in the additional parameter as object x as below on isValid method. Anyone can provide help? object x will be passed in during runtime after getting the value from other object. i.e. ( i would like to pass a value retrieve from db to isValid method. )

Default isValid implementation as below

public boolean isValid(Object value, ConstraintValidatorContext ctx)

Expected isValid customization

public boolean isValid(Object value, ConstraintValidatorContext ctx, Object x)

Full source code as below
