I'm trying to use hibernate validator with Scala. It's turned out to be more of a challenge that I expected because of scala's use of constructors. So given the scala class:

class Foo(@Size(7,0) val bar:String)

that compiles down to a java class that resembles:

class Foo {
public Foo(String bar) {...}
public String bar() {...}
}

and using reflection it would reveal that the Size annotation is on the constructor with one arg by calling constructor.getParameterAnnotations.

If I created my own validationFactory impl is there a way to validate a scala class that looks like that.

thanks,

Hi,

great to see that there are some integration attempts with Scala. Not sure how much I can help. You probably need to provide a little more context, because I don't know so much about Scala.

That said, it seems that you maybe need method/parameter level validation. That is currently not yet possible with Hibernate Validator and it is only a suggestion of the Bean Validation specification. We are working on method level validation under HV-347. Gunnar has a POC ready and we should have this feature ready soon.

Not sure though if this is really your problem. Is it ;-) ?

Hi Hardy,

Thanks for the reply, yes that sounds like what I'd need. I'll give it another try when 4.2 is out, thx again.
