I believe that OVal will soon be a referenced as existing technology for this JSR:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1640398&forum_id=488109 As far as I can tell, they have the most powerful set of features including support for: - AOP (AspectJ) - Spring integration (Validation interface) - BeanShell / ruby / ognl / js / mvel / groovy constraint expressions - JPA annotation validation hooks (ex @javax.persistence.OneToOne => @net.sf.oval.constraints.AssertValid) - Profiles (Multiple configurations per class that allow for runtime switching) - Object invariants / preconditions / postconditions - XML annotation overriding It's worth considering some of there approaches for s2 validation, if not leveraging OVal as a s2 plugin. > On Dec 10, 2007 7:02 AM, Philip Luppens wrote: >> On Dec 9, 2007 7:42 AM, Tom Schneider wrote: >>> Just wanted to chime in here.
