RE: [Springframework-developer] Preparing for 1.0.2

[Keith D. <kd...@cs...>]

I agree the commons-validator adapter should not be part of the emerging
declarative rules subproject.  It really is a small, specialized adapter =
for
those who already have an investment in commons-validator (generally =
those
migrating from Struts.)

And with the adapter being so small, it might just be worth including.  =
Or
possibly we want a generic "extensions" or "contrib" module for it.

Our declarative rules stuff will bring more power to the table (e.g =
complex,
nested bean property expressions), and an easier extensibility model for
defining new rules (as well as fully automated results reporting), but =
yes
it is still under development.

As far as the code, it is good but we still need unit test coverage.

please create an issue in our JIRA for it!

| As far as I see, it's just 8 classes, including a specific JSP custom
tag; so I could imagine that we include it as part of the Spring
distribution. I'm not sure if it should be part of Keith's emerging
"spring-rules" subproject; that's rather gonna be a separate rules-based
validation engine with its own plug into Spring's validation. And 8
integration classes aren't a convincing candidate for an own subproject
either.

| You have used those Commons Validator integration classes pretty
intensely, haven't you? Do you already consider them comprehensive
enough for a release? Do you see any room for improvement there? Do you
know of any existing alternative validation libraries that people could
also want to have plugged into Spring? (To me, Commons Validator seems
to be the only candidate for direct support in Spring at this point of
time.)

Just adding in my experience: I've been using the commons-validator code
for a few weeks now and it's working great.  It was really nice to
simply move all my struts formbeans over to spring with hardly a change.
