[jira] Commented: (WW-2563) Improve Validation - Add Support for Bean Validation API (JSR 303) / Hibernate Validator

["Brad Cupit (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2563?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=44170#action_44170 ] 

Brad Cupit commented on WW-2563:
--------------------------------

The problem with using the Hibernate Validator is that it expects the validation annotations to be on either a getter or a field.

The xwork validator allows annotations on either the getters or the setters. Putting validation annotations on setters seems very natural to me, and the preferred way to go for Struts 2 Actions.

The ideal situation (in my opinion) would be for setters to have the validation annotations, and for getters to be optional. I'm not sure if JSR 303 will address this.

> Today the initial draft of the Bean Validation framework has been released. It would be nice if Struts' Validator would support JSR 303 and/or Hibernate validator.
