Java JSR-303 Bean Validation - implementation comparison

Question

I'm looking into adding JSR-303 validation to an application and I'm down to two options:

• Hibernate validator
• agimatec-validation

I'm looking into something lightweight but also complete from the specification point of view.

I'm inclined to use Agimatec, but Hibernate's implementation is "the reference".

Where could I find a comparison of both with advantages/disadvantages of each? Can you share from your experience in case you used both? Or maybe a third alternative if any?

Answer 1

Here's a comparison of the two..
