Running a hibernate constraint individually?

Is it possible to check a String against a hibernate constraint without having to write a special Class for it? For example, if I just want to check if a given String is an email, is it possible to check it as a one-off test without writing a full class and validating that constraint against a particular property of the class?

You can annotate the property with @Email in your entity class. You can read the documentation in this link: http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/HibernateAnnotations/api/org/hibernate/validator/Email.html

Edited:

String email = "[email protected]";
EmailValidator validator = new EmailValidator();
validator.isValid(email, null);

The method "isValid" will return true if your string is a well-formed email address.

Hope it helps!
