10.2 Overview of Bean Validation

This section provides an overview of Bean Validation.

The Bean Validation function validates whether the value actually input for an application is within the scope of the property value specified with an annotation in the JavaBeans property.

The purpose of Bean Validation is to simplify the validation process of the values input in an application.

You can use Bean Validation on user applications. With the applications using JSF and CDI, you can also use the integration functionality defined in the standard specifications.

For details on JSF and CDI, see 3.2 Overview of JSF and JSTL and 9.2 Overview of the CDI, in the uCosminexus Application Server Web Container Functionality Guide.
