Spring MVC validator annotation + custom validation

I'm working on spring mvc application, where I should aplly validation based on Spring MVC validator. I first step for that I added annotation for class and setup controller and it works fine. And now I need to implement custom validator for perform complex logic, but i want to use existing annotation and just add additional checking.

我正在开发spring mvc应用程序，我应该基于Spring MVC验证器进行验证。我第一步为我添加了类和设置控制器的注释，它工作正常。现在我需要实现自定义验证器来执行复杂的逻辑，但我想使用现有的注释，只需添加额外的检查。

My User class:

我的用户类：

public class User
{
    @NotEmpty
    private String name;

    @NotEmpty
    private String login; // should be unique
}

My validator:

我的验证员：

@Component
public class UserValidator implements Validator
{

    @Autowired
    private UserDAO userDAO;

    @Override
    public boolean supports(Class<?> clazz)
    {
        return User.class.equals(clazz) || UsersForm.class.equals(clazz);
    }

    @Override
    public void validate(Object target, Errors errors)
    {
        /*
        ValidationUtils.rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(errors, "name", "NotEmpty.user");
        ValidationUtils.rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(errors, "login", "NotEmpty.user");
        */
        User user = (User) target;
        if (userDAO.getUserByLogin(user.getLogin()) != null) {
            errors.rejectValue("login", "NonUniq.user");
        }
    }
}

My controller:

我的控制器：

@Controller
public class UserController
{
    @Autowired
    private UserValidator validator;

    @InitBinder
    protected void initBinder(final WebDataBinder binder)
    {
        binder.setValidator(validator);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/save")
    public ModelAndView save(@Valid @ModelAttribute("user") final User user,
            BindingResult result) throws Exception
    {
        if (result.hasErrors())
        {
            // handle error
        } else
        {
            //save user
        }
    }
}

So, Is it possible to use custom validator and annotation together? And if yes how?

那么，是否可以一起使用自定义验证器和注释？如果是的话怎么样？

I know this is a kind of old question but, for googlers...

我知道这是一个古老的问题，但对于谷歌......

you should use addValidators instead of setValidator. Like following:

你应该使用addValidators而不是setValidator。如下：

@InitBinder
protected void initBinder(final WebDataBinder binder) {
    binder.addValidators(yourCustomValidator, anotherValidatorOfYours);
}

PS: addValidators accepts multiple parameters (ellipsis)

PS：addValidators接受多个参数（省略号）

if you checkout the source of org.springframework.validation.DataBinder you will see:

如果你签出org.springframework.validation.DataBinder的来源，你会看到：

public class DataBinder implements PropertyEditorRegistry, TypeConverter {

    ....

    public void setValidator(Validator validator) {
        assertValidators(validator);
        this.validators.clear();
        this.validators.add(validator);
    }

    public void addValidators(Validator... validators) {
        assertValidators(validators);
        this.validators.addAll(Arrays.asList(validators));
    }

    ....

}

as you see setValidator clears existing (default) validator so @Valid annotation won't work as expected.

如您所见，setValidator清除现有（默认）验证器，因此@Valid注释将无法按预期工作。

If I correctly understand your problem, as soon as you use you custom validator, default validation for @NotEmpty annotation no longer occurs. That is common when using spring : if you override a functionnality given by default, you have to call it explicitely.

如果我正确理解您的问题，只要您使用自定义验证器，就不再出现@NotEmpty注释的默认验证。这在使用spring时很常见：如果你覆盖默认情况下给出的函数，你必须明确地调用它。

You have to generate a LocalValidatorFactoryBean and inject it with your message source (if any). Then you inject that basic validator in you custom validator and delegate annotation validation to it.

您必须生成一个LocalValidatorFactoryBean并将其与您的消息源（如果有）一起注入。然后在自定义验证器中注入该基本验证器并将注释验证委托给它。

Using java configuration it could look like :

使用java配置它可能看起来像：

@Configuration
public class ValidatorConfig {
    @Autowired
    private MessageSource messageSource;

    @Bean
    public Validator basicValidator() {
        LocalValidatorFactoryBean validator = new LocalValidatorFactoryBean();
        validator.setValidationMessageSource(messageSource);
        return validator;
    }
}

Then you modify UserValidator to use it :

然后修改UserValidator以使用它：

@Component
public class UserValidator implements Validator
{

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("basicValidator")
    private Validator basicValidator;

    @Autowired
    private UserDAO userDAO;

    // ...

    @Override
    public void validate(Object target, Errors errors)
    {
        basicValidator.validate(target, errors);
        // eventually stop if any errors
        //  if (errors.hasErrors()) { return; }
        User user = (User) target;
        if (userDAO.getUserByLogin(user.getLogin()) != null) {
            errors.rejectValue("login", "NonUniq.user");
        }
    }
}

Well for me you have to delete the

好吧，我必须删除

 @InitBinder
protected void initBinder(final WebDataBinder binder)
{
    binder.setValidator(validator);
}

Leave the

离开了

@Valid @ModelAttribute("user") final User user,
        BindingResult result

And after in the function make

并且在函数make之后

validator.validate(user,result)

This way you will use the validation basic with the @Valid and after you will put make the more complex validation.

这样，您将使用@Valid的验证基础，并在您进行更复杂的验证之后。

Because with the initBinder you are setting the validation with your complex logic and putting a way the basic logic.

因为使用initBinder，您可以使用复杂的逻辑设置验证并为基本逻辑设置方法。

Maybe is wrong, i use always the @Valid without any validator.

也许是错的，我总是在没有任何验证器的情况下使用@Valid。
