Description

The Seam Validation module aims at integrating Hibernate Validator, the reference implementation for the Bean Validation API (JSR 303), with CDI (JSR 299).

This integration falls into two main areas:

• Enhanced dependency injection services for validators, validator factories and constraint validators
• Automatic validation of method parameters and return values based on Hibernate Validator's method validation feature

Release plan

Design whiteboard

This section serves as a whiteboard for design and ideas for this module. Ideas for future features of Seam Validation include: Provide the possibility to specify the validation groups for method validation (SEAMVALIDATE-1) Investigate how getter constraints might be applied to setter methods (SEAMVALIDATE-11) Investigate how bean constraints could be validated upon method validation
