Re: [Springframework-developer] Spring MVC and validation

[Sean M. <se...@se...>]

This looks like a really neat option for single-field validations; is 
there an obvious way of handling multi-field validations as annotations, 
like

collision : (firstName is not blank or lastName is not blank) and userid 
is not blank : 'Fill in either name or id'

Cheers,
Sean Miller.
