In Relation To

This is the third installment of a series of blog entries on the Bean Validation specification (JSR 303). If you have not done it yet, go read the first and second part.

This is the second part of a series of blogs about Bean Validation. For a general introduction, read this entry first. This part focuses on constraint definition.

To make the feedback process on the specification draft more open, constructive and simple, we have opened a dedicated feedback forum.

This blog entry is a general overview of the Bean Validation specification. Future blog entries will follow and will dive into specific aspects of the specification.

Max and I will be at JavaPolis next week. I don't know what Max is doing there but I will talk about Hibernate Search and JSR-303 Bean Validation, both talks on Thursday the 13th. Speaking of JSR-303, I have done a quick interview with Mark Newton on the topic: in a nutshell, it's shaping well and we hope to have a draft out in a month or so for you to review :)
