Chintan, While Bean Validation is one of the Java EE 6 specifications, each provider will have its own Java SE version requirements. For example, Apache BVAL[1] can be used with Java SE 1.5. Some/most Java EE 5 application servers will most likely allow you to use a "Java 1.5 compatible" Bean Validation provider using JSE-style APIs. You'll lack EE6 features like JNDI lookup of validation factories and integration with other technologies such as JPA, JSF, and JCA.
An exception is that the WebSphere Version 7.0 Feature Pack for OSGi/JPA 2.0 provides a mechanism to support bean validation integration with JPA 2.0 in an EE 5 + JPA 2.0 environment. If you are interested, I wrote up a blog post several months ago that provides a step-by-step procedure to do the enablement.[2] It is a bit out of date as far as versions go, though. You'll want to use the new 0.3 version of BVAL instead 0.1. -Jeremy [1] http://incubator.apache.org/bval/cwiki/index.html [2]http://webspherepersistence.blogspot.com/2010/07/using-bean-validation-with-osgijpa-20.html On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 12:53 PM, chintan4181 <chintan4...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > We are running on JEE 5 stack and using JPA 2.0 for persistence layer.
