Bean Validation (aka JSR 303) contains an optional appendix dealing with method validation.
Some implementions of this JSR implement this appendix (Apache bval, Hibernate validator for example).
OpenEJB provides an interceptor which allows you to use this feature to do design by contract.
The goal is to be able to configure with a finer grain your contract. In the example you specify the minimum centimeters a sport man should jump at pole vaulting:
@Local
public interface PoleVaultingManager {
int points(@Min(120) int centimeters);
}
TomEE and OpenEJB do not provide anymore BeanValidationAppendixInterceptor since
Bean Validation 1.1 does it (with a slighly different usage but the exact same feature).
So basically you don't need to configure anything to use it.
If a parameter is not validated an exception is thrown, it is an EJBException wrapping a ConstraintViolationException:
try {
gamesManager.addSportMan("I lose", "EN");
fail("no space should be in names");
} catch (EJBException wrappingException) {
assertTrue(wrappingException.getCause() instanceof ConstraintViolationException);
ConstraintViolationException exception = ConstraintViolationException.class.cast(wrappingException.getCausedByException());
assertEquals(1, exception.getConstraintViolations().size());
}
