In Relation To

If you've ever programmed in PHP, Ruby, Perl, Groovy, and probably others, then you know how nice it is to have a central, official space for reference documentation and inline community feedback.

Antonio has written a nice article on how to use Bean Validation and Hibernate Validator 4.0 in JPA 1.0 and Hibernate 3.3 (by retrofitting what's happening automatically in JPA 2.0). He asked an interesting question at the end of his post.

Norman Richards has left Red Hat to work for a startup company. Thanks, Norman, for all your work on the Seam project over the last 4 years, and good luck with your new endeavor.

Via TSS, I found this excellent post. Unfortunately, while I appreciate the sentiment (hell, I'm not so young and commitment-free no more), I'm simply not convinced that these things are actually myths. Sure, age discrimination sucks, I guess, and I'd like them to be myths, but is it really a myth that:

It was bound to happen, the minute I announced the Wicket integration, I've received a few emails describing integrations with other frameworks (like Tapestry). I've created a wiki page to list all frameworks integrating Bean Validation and a pointer to their documentation. Go ahead and fill it up with any active integration you are aware of. The page is here.

JBoss Tools 3.1 CR2 is now available for download.

Wow, we are on fire. :-)

People following our work and vision on Bean Validation know that the ultimate goal is to get the ecosystem of Java frameworks to natively integrate Bean Validation where it makes sense. A particularly important area is the the presentation layer that should call Bean Validation to validate the values to be put in the domain model.
