Using Bean Validation to validate input
---------------------------------------
Before you get started with Bean Validation you need to download a Bean
Validation implementation and add it to your project. You can find one
for instance at http://bval.apache.org/downloads.html. Just add the jars
from the lib folder to your project.
Bean Validation works as a normal validator. If you have a bean with
Bean Validation annotations, such as:
[source,java]
....
public class Person {
@Size(min = 5, max = 50)
private String name;
@Min(0)
@Max(100)
private int age;
// + constructor + setters + getters
}
....
You can create a field for the name field as you always would:
[source,java]
....
Person person = new Person("John", 26);
TextField firstName = new TextField("First name");
setContent(firstName);
....
and bind the field with a bean validation binder:
[source,java]
....
BeanValidationBinder<Person> binder = new BeanValidationBinder<>(Person.class);
binder.forField(firstName).bind("name");
binder.setBean(person);
....
Your `firstName` field is now automatically validated based on the
annotations in your bean class. You can do the same thing for the `age`
field and you won't be able to set a value outside the valid 0-100
range.
A Bean Validation tutorial is available here:
