Complex bean validation

How can I validate the below class using validator (JSR303) API? This should be done using Hibernate Validator API.

Suppose TesterBatters class itself has some validation. How can I validate those?

public class Example {
    private String jseId;
    private String jseType;
    private String jseName;
    private Double jsePpu;
    private TesterBatters jseBatters;
    private List<TesterToppin> jseTopping;
    public String getTesterId() {
        return jseId;
    }
}

You basically have to add constraint annotations such as @NotNull, @Size etc. to the elements of your model (i.e. the properties and/or classes) and perform a validation of these constraints at a suitable point of time (e.g. when persisting objects or processing data entered by the user into a GUI) using the javax.validation.Validator API.

To recursively apply a validation to referenced objects, use the @Valid annotation.

I recommend to have a look into the Hibernate Validator reference guide which explains in detail how to work with Bean Validation.
