I'm working in a Java EE web application using Hibernate, Spring, JSF and Primefaces.
My Question is how can I control the UI components (jsf and primefaces components)
using POJO annotations.
Is there any framework I can add to my project to do this?
example :
class user {
@NotNull @Max=100
public String name;
}
The UI component associated with the name attribut must validate the string entred (not null and not exceding 100 char.)
This is called bean validation, also known as JSR-303. The reference implementation is the Hibernate Validator. This is already bundled in every Java EE 6 application server complying the web profile, such as Glassfish 3, JBoss AS 6/7, etc. This is not bundled in barebones JSP/Servlet containers such as Tomcat, Jetty, etc. If you target those containers, you'd need to download the bean validation libraries and drop in webapp's /WEB-INF/lib yourself.
