Which java validation library should I use?

I’m kind of stuck in this decision. My project already uses Spring and Spring Blazeds integration, but I don’t think there will be any real web interface (HTML). I have limited experience with Spring MVC and Spring validators, which are fine, but I read comments from people suggesting not to use Spring validators outside Spring MVC. What inspection structure would you recommend based on personal experience?

"... but I read comments from people suggesting not to use Spring validators outside Spring MVC ..."

I would like to see these quotes. I used the Spring DataBinding APIs outside of Spring MVC and this is awesome. I would say that criticism is unfounded.

Apache Commons Validator is an alternative, but I still recommend Spring DataBinder. Especially if you are already using Spring. The advantage of switching to something else is more than offset by the cost of another addiction.

You can try the Hibernate Validator , which is actually the reference implementation for JSR 303: Bean Validation. BTW, it is still in beta.
