  org.springframework.binding.validation.support.CompositeRichValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

RichValidator, Validator

public class CompositeRichValidator
extends Object
implements RichValidator

This RichValidator allows combining several RichValidators. Eg when using a validator for Hibernate (validation available on persistent object through annotations), you might want to add a RulesValidator for more specific rules or just to expand its features.
