Apache BVal Report September 2018

  • The Apache BVal project implements the Java EE Bean Validation specification(s) and related extensions, and became a top-level project of the foundation on February 15, 2012.

Issues:

  • There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

Activity:

  • Apache BVal community members working in Apache Commons have recently succeeded in pushing the 2.0 release of the Apache Commons Weaver component upon which we depend.
  • Our immediate plans are to push the release of the Apache licensed bean validation 2.0 specification artifact through the Apache Geronimo project and then to release Apache BVal 2.0.
  • The security issue mentioned last quarter is incurred at the specification level and has been deemed low priority by the bean validation community as a whole, any vulnerability requiring deliberate and naive custom code on the part of the application developer. The Apache BVal community continue to ponder what actions we might take to reduce the likelihood of such naive exposures.

Health report:

  • We retain a small core of developers with the desire to keep this project afloat.
