bean-validation

I've configured a JSR-303 custom validator following what's given in the docs ( http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/4.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/validation.html ), complete with LocalValidatorFactoryBean and Hibernate validator on the classpath. However, my validator just refuses to kick in. I've put up a dirt simple test project here ( https://github.com/abhijitsarkar/java/tree/master/spring-jsr-303 ), along with a failing unit test. Should you decide to take a look, just clone it and run gradlew clean test from the root directory. I'm using Spring framework 4.0.2.RELEASE and Hibernate

In my Spring Boot app I have a backing bean where I am using JSR303 validation. In the annotation, I have specified the message code: @NotBlank(message = "{firstname.isnull}") private String firstname; Then in my message.properties I have specified: firstname.isnull = Firstname cannot be empty or blank My JavaConfig for the messageSource is: @Bean(name = "messageSource") public MessageSource messageSource() { ResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ResourceBundleMessageSource(); messageSource.setBasename("messages"); messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8"); return messageSource; }

I have a simple validator to validate that a String value is part of a predefined list: public class CoBoundedStringConstraints implements ConstraintValidator<CoBoundedString, String> { private List<String> m_boundedTo; @Override public void initialize(CoBoundedString annotation) { m_boundedTo = FunctorUtils.transform(annotation.value(), new ToLowerCase()); } @Override public boolean isValid(String value, ConstraintValidatorContext context) { if (value == null ) { return true; } context.disableDefaultConstraintViolation(); context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate("should be one of " + m

I have some model class public class Account { @Email private String email; @NotNull private String rule; } and spring-validator public class AccountValidator implements Validator { @Override public boolean supports(Class aClass) { return Account.class.equals(aClass); } @Override public void validate(Object obj, Errors errors) { Account account = (Account) obj; ValidationUtils.rejectIfEmpty(errors, "email", "email.required"); ValidationUtils.rejectIfEmpty(errors, "rule", "rule.required"); complexValidateRule(account.getRule(), errors); } private void complexValidateRule(String rule, Errors

Is it valid to declare @OneToOne and @NotNull on both sides of a relationship, such as: class ChangeEntry { @OneToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL) @NotNull ChangeEntryDetails changeEntryDetails; public void addDetails(ChangeEntryDetails details) { this.changeEntryDetails = details; details.setChangeEntry(this); } } class ChangeEntryDetails { @OneToOne(cascase=CascadeType.ALL) @NotNull ChangeEntry changeEntry; public void setChangeEntry(ChangeEntry changeEntry) { this.changeEntry = changeEntry; } } I can't find anything that says this is invalid, but it seems that during persistence at least one

I am currently working on Spring MVC web app and trying to hook up validation using the @Valid annotation. When I fire up the application I'm getting the following exception: javax.validation.ValidationException: Unable to find a default provider I have Hibernate Validator 3.1.0.GA on the classpath as well as javax validation 1.0.0.GA, Hibernate Core 3.3.1.GA and Hibernate Annotations 3.4.0.GA. Is there an incompatiblity in those versions that I'm not seeing, or can anyone think of any reason why I'm still getting this exception with Hibernate Validator on the class path? Cheers, Caps

How to skip JSR-303 Bean validation with JSF, when a button is clicked? A bit lengthy question to explain a few approaches... Consider a list in a form: <h:form id="form"> <h:commandButton value="Add row"> <f:ajax execute="foo" listener="#{bean.add()}" render="foo" /> </h:commandButton> <h:dataTable id="foo" var="foo" value="#{bean.foos}"> <h:column> Name: <h:inputText id="field" value="#{foo.name}" required="true" /> <h:messages for="field" /> </h:column> <h:column> <h:commandButton value="Remove"> <f:ajax execute=":form:foo" listener="#{bean.remove(foo)}" render=":form:foo" /> </h
