Java Validation Frameworks

Question

I once came across a validation framework for java, where you wrote one method that protected the integrity of the data-type and any CRUD operations on that data-type automatically called this method.

Does anyone know what this framework is? I simply want to avoid repetitive validation on every CRUD method attached to a data-type.

You need to be more specific. Do you mean for web platform? or for RCP? — Adeel Ansari, Dec 30 '08 at 02:38

Are you using Hibernate for persistence? If you are, there is Hibernate Validator.

Hibernate Validator (or Bean Validation in general) is not tied to the Hibernate persistence framework (altough they work seamlessly together). – deamon Jul 27 '21 at 14:31

Spring has a very nice validation and binding API.

Hibernate Validator, per adref's answer, is an implementation of JSR-303. Here's a helpful article to get you started if you are interested:
