Bean Validation Early Draft Review Released
Java Specification Requests (JSR) Bean Validation API, initial draft review is released. The proposed API and metadata model allows developers to decorate their JavaBean classes with constraint annotations. These constraints then are made available at runtime to each tier of the application via a simple metadata API.
This JSR will define a meta-data model and API for JavaBean validation based on annotations, with overrides and extended meta-data through the use of XML validation descriptors.
