The validate method on your validator class takes an input an object to be validated (typically your form object). One way is to provide a setter on this form object to the HttpRequest. You can obtain reference from the HttpRequest from your controller handler method (see http://static.springsource.org/sprin...ping-arguments)

I would design your application so that your validators don't depend on HTTP at all. This is not a good coupling. If you need to do this, you're probably doing it wrong.

I solved it with the help of RequestContextHolder using this I can access request object in any ordinary class.

But can we used Validator on a non-MVC environment? like stand alone app.. Any tutorials on this?
