Hi Chintan, Yes, Bean Validation can be used in a Java EE 5 environment, but it would be used in an application-managed mode. That is, Java EE 5 from an application server or container perspective would have no knowledge of how to interact with Bean Validation. But, if your application is calling out to the Bean Validator, that should work just fine.
As proof of this approach, WebSphere provides the OSGi/JPA 2.0 Feature Pack that sits on top of WebSphere Application Server v7. Although this Feature Pack does not ship a Bean Validator provider, we do document how a customer could get their own provider [1] and use it with our JPA 2.0 solution [2]. Hope this helps, Kevin [1] http://incubator.apache.org/bval/cwiki/index.html [2] http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/fep/topic/com.ibm.websphere.jpafep.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/tejb_jpabeanval.html On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 12:53 PM, chintan4181 <chintan4...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > We are running on JEE 5 stack and using JPA 2.0 for persistence layer.
