Class DefaultBeanValidationManager
- All Implemented Interfaces:
BeanValidationManager
This is the central class for javax.validation (JSR-303) in a Struts2 setup : It bootstraps a javax.validation.ValidationFactory and exposes it through the javax.validation.Validator interface. When talking to an instance of this bean we will be talking to the default Validator of the underlying ValidatorFactory.
This is very convenient in that you don't have to perform yet another call on the factory, assuming that you will
almost always use the default Validator anyway. You need to pass provider class in order for this plugin to hook
itself to underlying validation Factory. Any of following Validation provider can be provided using
struts.beanValidation.providerClass
- Hibernate Validator -
org.hibernate.validator.HibernateValidator
- Apache Bval -
org.apache.bval.jsr303.ApacheValidationProvider

In this case, the default validation provider resolver will be used to locate available providers. The chosen provider is defined as followed:
- if the XML configuration defines a provider, this provider is used
