Dropwizard @Validated annotation vs @Valid

[Keith Tsui]

Is there a functional difference between the two in DW 0.6.2?  Docs all say to use @Valid but @Validated works fine as well.  Thanks!

Hi Keith,

the @Validated annotation of Dropwizard isn’t exactly identical to the standard @Valid annotation (see https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/0.6.2/maven/dropwizard-core/apidocs/com/yammer/dropwizard/validation/Validated.html for details) but in normal cases (e. g. when you don’t want to use multiple validation groups) the can be interchanged.

Cheers,

Jochen

Hey Keith, I've been reading about this topic and stumbled upon your post and this one, which clarfies the difference:

as Jochen notes, @Validated is not standard JAVA EE, but comes from Spring 3.1.
However it's more important here to note where the original "@Validate" annotation will NOT work, and that's with Validation Groups
