Hi All I wanted to begin introducing some level of BeanValidation Support. The main goal that I have is to be able to create CDI aware constraint validators, let's say you want to validate @NonExistentEmail then you should be able to run a query against your DB using your CDI services and determine if the given email is already present or not.
To do this, both Seam3 and CODI introduced a CDI aware ConstraintFactory. When it creates an instance the instance is a CDI object, so it has full access to @Inject fields. I'd like to bring this type of functionality over to DS. The point where the two diverge is that CODI does an auto registration whereas Seam3 does a registration via validation.xml. As far as I know, CDI already allows the injection of Validator and ValidatorFactory (though the OWB guys can tell me if they disagree). Please let me know if anyone has concerns with adding this. Yes, I realize that this functionality is in bean val 1.1, but not everyone can upgrade to bean val 1.1 yet. John
