Package org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation

Support classes for integrating a JSR-303 Bean Validation provider (such as Hibernate Validator) into a Spring ApplicationContext and in particular with Spring's data binding and validation APIs.

Class Summary

Class	Description
BeanValidationPostProcessor	Simple BeanPostProcessor that checks JSR-303 constraint annotations in Spring-managed beans, throwing an initialization exception in case of constraint violations right before calling the bean's init method (if any).
CustomValidatorBean	Configurable bean class that exposes a specific JSR-303 Validator through its original interface as well as through the Spring Validator interface.
LocaleContextMessageInterpolator	Delegates to a target MessageInterpolator implementation but enforces Spring's managed Locale.
LocalValidatorFactoryBean	This is the central class for javax.validation (JSR-303) setup in a Spring application context: It bootstraps a javax.validation.ValidationFactory and exposes it through the Spring Validator interface as well as through the JSR-303 Validator interface and the ValidatorFactory interface itself.
MessageSourceResourceBundleLocator	Implementation of Hibernate Validator 4.3/5.x's ResourceBundleLocator interface, exposing a Spring MessageSource as localized MessageSourceResourceBundle.
MethodValidationInterceptor	An AOP Alliance MethodInterceptor implementation that delegates to a JSR-303 provider for performing method-level validation on annotated methods.
MethodValidationPostProcessor	A convenient BeanPostProcessor implementation that delegates to a JSR-303 provider for performing method-level validation on annotated methods.
OptionalValidatorFactoryBean	LocalValidatorFactoryBean subclass that simply turns Validator calls into no-ops in case of no Bean Validation provider being available.
SpringConstraintValidatorFactory	JSR-303 ConstraintValidatorFactory implementation that delegates to a Spring BeanFactory for creating autowired ConstraintValidator instances.
SpringValidatorAdapter	Adapter that takes a JSR-303 javax.validator.Validator and exposes it as a Spring Validator while also exposing the original JSR-303 Validator interface itself.

Package org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation Description

Support classes for integrating a JSR-303 Bean Validation provider (such as Hibernate Validator) into a Spring ApplicationContext and in particular with Spring's data binding and validation APIs.

The central class is LocalValidatorFactoryBean which defines a shared ValidatorFactory/Validator setup for availability to other Spring components.
