validation - Doctrine: Validate Model Data using Annotations -

in doctrine, there way validate model data using annotations? bellow example in c#

       public class productmd {             [stringlength(50),required]             public object name { get; set; }             [stringlength(15)]             public object color { get; set; }             [range(0, 9999)]             public object weight { get; set; }         } 

so when property name empty give error.

unfortunately, starting doctrine2 there no validation component integrated orm anymore.

if, example, you're using doctrine2 symfony2, can take advantage of validation framework component using @assert annotations in doctrine entities.

if don't use framework, or if framework use not provide validation component, can use doctrine's lifecycle callbacks provide custom validation in @prepersist , @preupdate (for more information, take here). in case, there's more manual work done still sounds reasonable solution.
