= Bean Validation Design by Contract

== Bean Validation - Design By Contract

Bean Validation (aka JSR 303) contains an optional appendix dealing with
method validation.

Some implementions of this JSR implement this appendix (Apache BVal,
Hibernate Validator for example).

NOTE: If you override or implement a method, which has constraints, you need to re-add the constraints to the new method.

== Design by contract

The goal is to be able to configure with a finer grain your contract. In
the example you specify the minimum centimeters a sport man should jump
at pole vaulting:

[source,java]
----
@Stateless
public class PoleVaultingManagerBean
{
    public int points(@Min(120) int centimeters)
    {
        return centimeters - 120;
    }
}
----

== Example

=== OlympicGamesManager

[source,java]
----
package org.superbiz.designbycontract;

import jakarta.ejb.Stateless;
import jakarta.validation.constraints.NotNull;
import jakarta.validation.constraints.Pattern;
import jakarta.validation.constraints.Size;

@Stateless
public class OlympicGamesManager {
    public String addSportMan(@Pattern(regexp = "^[A-Za-z]+$") String name, @Size(min = 2, max = 4) String country) {
        if (country.equals("USA")) {
            return null;
        }
        return new StringBuilder(name).append(" [").append(country).append("]").toString();
    }
}
----

=== PoleVaultingManager

[source,java]
----
package org.superbiz.designbycontract;

import jakarta.ejb.Stateless;
import jakarta.validation.constraints.Min;

@Stateless
public class PoleVaultingManagerBean
{
    public int points(@Min(120) int centimeters)
    {
        return centimeters - 120;
    }
}
----

=== PoleVaultingManagerBean

[source,java]
----
package org.superbiz.designbycontract;

import jakarta.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless
public class PoleVaultingManagerBean implements PoleVaultingManager {
    @Override
    public int points(int centimeters) {
        return centimeters - 120;
    }
}
----

=== OlympicGamesTest

[source,java]
----
public class OlympicGamesTest {
    private static Context context;

    @EJB
    private OlympicGamesManager gamesManager;

    @EJB
    private PoleVaultingManager poleVaultingManager;

    @BeforeClass
    public static void start() {
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty(BeanContext.USER_INTERCEPTOR_KEY, BeanValidationAppendixInterceptor.class.getName());
        context = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(properties).getContext();
    }

    @Before
    public void inject() throws Exception {
        context.bind("inject", this);
    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void stop() throws Exception {
        if (context != null) {
            context.close();
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void sportMenOk() throws Exception {
        assertEquals("IWin [FR]", gamesManager.addSportMan("IWin", "FR"));
    }

    @Test
    public void sportMenKoBecauseOfName() throws Exception {
        try {
            gamesManager.addSportMan("I lose", "EN");
            fail("no space should be in names");
        } catch (EJBException wrappingException) {
            assertTrue(wrappingException.getCause() instanceof ConstraintViolationException);
            ConstraintViolationException exception = ConstraintViolationException.class.cast(wrappingException.getCausedByException());
            assertEquals(1, exception.getConstraintViolations().size());
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void sportMenKoBecauseOfCountry() throws Exception {
        try {
            gamesManager.addSportMan("ILoseTwo", "TOO-LONG");
            fail("country should be between 2 and 4 characters");
        } catch (EJBException wrappingException) {
            assertTrue(wrappingException.getCause() instanceof ConstraintViolationException);
            ConstraintViolationException exception = ConstraintViolationException.class.cast(wrappingException.getCausedByException());
            assertEquals(1, exception.getConstraintViolations().size());
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void polVaulting() throws Exception {
        assertEquals(100, poleVaultingManager.points(220));
    }

    @Test
    public void tooShortPolVaulting() throws Exception {
        try {
            poleVaultingManager.points(119);
            fail("the jump is too short");
        } catch (EJBException wrappingException) {
            assertTrue(wrappingException.getCause() instanceof ConstraintViolationException);
            ConstraintViolationException exception = ConstraintViolationException.class.cast(wrappingException.getCausedByException());
            assertEquals(1, exception.getConstraintViolations().size());
        }
    }
}
