Validation has always been a tedious process that I wanted to rid my self of. I have used various frameworks that are out and many iterations of my own. I don't think you can really use other frameworks until you understand the problem and how the problem is solved. With that In mind I wanted to tackle my own validation framework. The idea for this framework really came from 2 sources. I really enjoyed the way the QuickSilver framework was using annotations in there framework so I thought I would do the same. The other source of inspiration was the hibernate validation frameowrk. That framework does the same thing for validation and many of my constraints, example and documentation text come from that framework.

Annotations are a very convenient and elegant way to specify invariant constraints for a domain model. You can, for example, express that a property should never be null, that the account balance should be strictly positive, etc. These domain model constraints are declared in the bean itself by annotating its properties. A validator can then read them and check for constraint violations
