Answer 1

I found this open source project but it looks dead, maybe it is worth resurrecting.

This library provides client side validation of an HTML form based on JSR-303 and Hibernate Validator annotations, integrated with Spring MVC. The library provides a JavaScript validation code base that handles basic interaction with HTML forms, as well as JavaScript functions implementing the validation annotations supported by Hibernate Validator (including those not from the JSR-303 spec). This JavaScript code base can be included in a page by using a provided taglib or by extracting the JavaScript file from the jar and including it using a tag. Once this code base has been included in a page, a second taglib is used to generate the JavaScript code for validating an HTML form. You can also provide a JSON object in the body of the tag to specify additional configuration information.
