Introduction

This is a simple extension to Morphia to process JSR303 Validation Annotations.

Using

Add this at the start of your application (or wherever you create your morphia instances).

new ValidationExtension(morphia);

Example

Here is a simple example using (as an example) Hibernate validation:

...
import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.Email;
...

@Entity
public class Userlike {
	@Id ObjectId id;
	@Email String email;
}

Implementation

This is a lightweight wrapper around the JSR303 API. It installs a simple global entity interceptor which listens to all life-cycle methods needed for validation. You can use any implementation of JSR303 by just adding it to the classpath.

You can look at the code here.
