This is one of the first complete implementations of JSR 303 (Bean Validation), a specification of the Java API for JavaBean validation in Java EE and Java SE.

The technical objective is to provide a class level constraint declaration and validation facility for the Java application developer, as well as a constraint metadata repository and query API.

This implementation is based on the validation framework of agimatec GmbH, a small validation framework that is in production since 2007 and offers additional features, like XML-based extensible metadata, code generation (JSON for AJAX applications).
