[Jvalid-devel] User defined messaging?

[Mike W. <mik...@st...>]

Thought I should post this to the list since we have some new blood :) 
BTW, Welcome Brett!

Mark and I were discussing ways of adding user defined messagging to 
JValid.  Here is one idea that sounds like it would work.  Feed back is 
welcome!

Here is the proposed change to the xml.  The new attributes are 
friendlyName, minInclusiveMessage and maxInclusiveMessage.  There would 
be a matching ??Message attribute for each possible validation error. 
The strings enclosed in {{ }} would be replaced at runtime with the 
appropriate values.

<attribute name="orderDate">
     <simpleType baseType="date">
         <minInclusive value="2/28/2001" />
         <maxInclusive value="5/28/2001" />
     </simpleType>
     <friendlyName value="Order Date" />
     <minInclusiveMessage value="The value {{value}} is less than the 
minimum allowed value {{minInclusive}} for {{friendlyName}}." />
     <maxInclusiveMessage value="The value {{value}} is greater than the
  maximum allowed value {{maxInclusive}} for {{friendlyName}}." />
</attribute>
