Mind that you set Field(...,requires=....) the validation is not done at the database level. The validators propagate and will validate all forms such as: form = SQLFORM(db.mytable) form = crud.create(db.mytable) form = crud.update(db.mytable) > 4.

I do not know Spring and your comments are very much welcome.
