RE: [Springframework-developer] Commons-Validator for Spring

[Daniel M. <mi...@pa...>]

Seth,

Your first request: make it work with XHTML 1.0 Strict
I'll have to look into that, but I doubt that I can make that change. I
think you better go ask the developers of the commons-validator to do that.
By the way, I expect JavaScript support to be better once the next version
of the commons-validator comes out. It looks like the developers have spent
more time integrating the JavaScript validation into the picture. However,
it doesn't seem like there's much going on in the way of new development for
the commons-validator. It seems like the developers are waiting on something
(Struts 1.2 or 1.3??).

Second: Only included the necessary JavaScript
I know exactly what you mean. It makes for a huge glob of extra code that is
mostly unneeded, which only makes your page size a lot bigger. I was hoping
to only include the required functions, but I'm not sure how easy it would
be to do. The code (from Struts) that constructs the JavaScript code does
not look like it has been optimized.

I have been testing my current implementation and can verify that it works,
with the exception of the MessageResourceResolvable patch for the Spring
core. Once that is out, I will package my validator in a jar (it really
doesn't have any other major dependencies), and put it out for people to
try. I am very pleased with how easy it is to add validation to any
project--just simply add the ValidatorFactory and BeanValidator definitions
in the AppContext, write your validation rules in validation.xml, add the
corresponding message resources, and use the BeanValidator to validate your
bean, it's really that simple.

Daniel

Daniel,

This is great to see!  I have a few requests:

- - Make the javascript work with XHTML 1.0 Strict or >.  Currently,
Struts' javascript works with a <form> with a name attribute.  The name
attribute is deprecated.  It's id now.

- - Selectively include the javascript functions being used on the form.
In Struts right now, if you choose to include Javascript validation, it
includes every possible function.


Good luck, and I'd love to help test it out.  Keith has been working on
some new APIs for validation, so they might be helpful.  I think they
are either in the RCP or sandbox.
