#6 Simple validation

[Anonymous]

I would like to see more validation config in XML mapping if possible like
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE PZMAP SYSTEM
"http://pzfilereader.sourceforge.net/pzfilereader.dtd" >
<PZMAP>
<COLUMN name="FIRSTNAME" require="true" maxlenght="15"/>
<COLUMN name="LASTNAME" require="true" maxlenght="15"/>
<COLUMN name="ADDRESS" require="true" maxlenght="40"/>
<COLUMN name="CITY" require="true" maxlenght="20"/>
<COLUMN name="STATE" require="true" maxlenght="2"/>
<COLUMN name="ZIP" require="true" maxlenght="9"/>

</PZMAP>

Hi,

Thank you very much for the suggestion. What do you think should happen if a record were not not validate? Would you recommend adding it to the current error collection, or have a separate collection of errors for these? Would these then be excluded from the DataSet?

Thanks for your interest in PZFileReader!

Thanks,

Paul Zepernick

Maybe add a defaultvalue if it is empty
<COLUMN name="ZIP" require="true" maxlenght="9" defaultvalue="00000"/>

I would think that the validation error to current error collection would efficient. I would add another method isAnError() and user default current row.

By the way I love PZFileReader
