Java Validation Library

David,

Thanks for asking. Let me see if I can answer your questions.

The objectives for this project is to provide means of validating data which is user defined, easy to configure and maintain, and responsive. The goal is to support as many Java data types as possible and the most commonly needed types of validation. (i.e. ranges, correct data type, set of valid values, etc..)

As far as how JValid relates to XML schema validators. It really doesn't. The schema format was simply chosen because it fits nicely with data validation :) I do plan on respecting the general layout and rules of the schema format, and when that's not possible extending them.

Hope that answers your question?

Mike
