JSR 303
Posted by david, Sat Mar 29 21:45:00 UTC 2008
There is a rather interesting new JSR (Java Specification Request) over at http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=303 on validation. It works both on javabean property accessors (getFoo, isBarrable) and on fields, via annotations. Its obviously in its beginning stages (some sections are entirely blank), but could be an interesting way to unify the best of all the current methods out there. It also has some interesting usage of annotations in general.
