Implementation of LocalValidatorFactoryBean other than hibernate-validator?

Question

Do you know an implementation of springframework's LocalValidatorFactoryBean other than hibernate-validator?

We don't want hibernate-validator because it fetches too many dependencies in a small spring-mvc 3 application that doesn't use hibernate.

Answer 1

I can't precisely answer you question with respect to other implementations of LocalValidatorFactoryBean , but what concerns the dependencies of Hibernate Validator, there are actually not that many.

The only strict dependency besides the JSR 303 API (validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar) is slf4j-api-1.5.6.jar plus a binding for it (here you could use the NOP binding for instance if you don't want to pull in a logger).

All the other dependencies are optional and can be left out depending on your setup/requirements (eg JAXB is only required when working with XML descriptors and running on JDK 5).

Answer 2

正如Raghuram指出的那样，有一个Apache Bean验证 （以前称为agimatec）似乎比Hibernate的效率更高。
