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

Matt, The commons-validator adaptor for Spring is now in the sandbox on sf.net. I would be happy to hear your comments/criticisms. The tag library is totally separate, so you should be able to use this with any framework you please, although it depends on a Spring BeanFactory to find the validator resources. If there is a need, I suppose an alternative resource resolution strategy could be implemented to remove this dependency. The actual validation classes are fairly generic as well, so you shouldn't even need to configure Spring to use them (although you will need the spring jar with the Validator interface in it).

Subject: Re: [Springframework-developer] Commons-Validator for Spring I've used the Struts Validator for a couple years now and I think it's great - especially since I can generate my validation.xml using XDoclet. In the coming months, I plan to learn more about Tapestry and WebWork. I'd love to have a validation system that I could use on Struts, Spring, Tapestry and WebWork. I guess I'm saying - I'd like to see a tag library that can be used with other MVC frameworks. I plan on using Spring with all these MVC options - so including it in the core also suits my needs.
