[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (BVAL-208) @Valid should support groups attribute

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-208?page=c... ] Arthur Ronald F D Garcia commented on BVAL-208: ----------------------------------------------- Here goes some examples Spring MVC 3.0, for instance, supports JSR-303 by using @Valid as ElementType.PARAMETER public void doSomething(@Valid Command command, BindingResult result) throws Exception {} But if JSR-303 supports the concept of groups, how can i supply which group i want to test. Because of that, i need to implement a Spring Validator interface instead public class CommandValidator implements Validator { public bollean supports(Class clazz) {} public void validate(Object command, Errors errors) { Set<ConstraintViolation<Command>> constraintViolationSet = ValidatorUtil.getValidator().validate((Command) command, SomeUseCase.class); // post-proccessing validation } } So instead of (Not supported) public void doSomething((a)Valid(groups=SomeUseCase.class) Command command, BindingResult result) throws Exception {} I need to use (old-style) private CommandValidator validator = new CommandValidator(); public void doSomething(Command command, BindingResult result) throws Exception { validator.validate(command, result); } There is more As @Valid annotation fullfil nested properties, how can i supply which group of the nested property i want to test ??? As @Valid does not support groups attribute, i just can use @Valid when using default group. Otherwise, i need to remove it public class Command { @Valid public Children getChildren() { return this.children; } } best regards Arthur Ronald F D Garcia -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
