Summary

In this chapter, we learned to use the bean validation API, and how to integrate it into our enterprise middleware solutions. There is more to learn about the bean validation API; you can refer to the specification for more details about its advanced topics. However, what we have learned in this chapter is enough to fulfill our day-to-day needs. The framework also has its own integration in frontend technologies such as JSP and JSF; however, the frontend is beyond the scope of this book.

In the next chapter, we will go through the Enterprise Java Beans technology, one of the most important specifications in Java EE 8.
