[Springframework-rcp-dev] Validation... Which framework?

[Benoit X. <bx...@ob...>]

Hi

 

I thought I’d ask the community…  there are quite a few validation
frameworks out there, notably, amongst the more modern ones:

-          Spring Validation

-          Spring Rich Client Validation

-          Hibernate Validation

 

Given a scenario of a 3-tier application where serialized objects are sent
back-and-forth between a Swing application and an RMI server, and then
stored in DB via Hibernate. 

Which framework do you think would be most appropriate to use to ensure a
good GUI feedback prior to submitting an object but also enforcing solid
validation on the server-side? (the server also interacts with JMS so
server-side validation is really important).

 

At the moment, we’re using a mixture of Spring Rich Client Validation (hand
coded using the Rules) and some internal mechanism on the server side.

 

I’d like to be able to have ONE place where I put the validation rules… it
seems that the Hibernate Validation may be the most obvious choice there…
and I believe that there is some code to integrate it in Spring RC? Where
could I find some information on how to use it and does integrate in the
same way as the Spring Rich Client Rule for error messages/display icons
etc?

 

What is your experience with any of these frameworks?

A quick review on this subject would be a GREAT blog posting…

 

Thanks a lot

Best regards,

 

Benoit
