| <h3>1. INTRODUCTION</h3> |
| |
| |
| <p> The commons-validator package provides a simple, extendable |
| framework to define validators (validation methods) and validation rules |
| in an xml file. There is support for internationalization of |
| validation rules and error messages. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The package should : |
| <ul> |
| <li>Provide in an easy way to define validations for fields</li> |
| <li>Provide internationalization support for validation rules and error messages.</li> |
| <li>Provide an easy way to define validators</li> |
| <li>Provide a way to store information in a validator definition so JavaScript client |
| side validation can be auto-generated matching the server side validation.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Non-goals: |
| <ul> |
| <li>This package does not auto-generate JavaScript client side code.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
