commons validator annotations

[nateinindy]

I am getting ready to put some validation into my project, and have been reviewing the possible implementations. From what I can gather the spring-modules has great validation support and from there I decided that the commons validator would be best since the same configuration files can be used for both client and server side validation, HOWEVER, i did not see any support for annotations! I want to stay annotation based as much as possible. Of course the Bean Validation Framework does support annotations, but does not offer client side validation. So, with this said, does anyone know if support for annotations in commons validator already exists and I just missed it? Or perhaps someone can offer a compromise?

thanks

Nobody is able to comment on this? What about one of the spring source gurus?
