Re: Validator inheritance

[Riyaz Mansoor]

i asked this same question and the answer i got here is:
this was added to Validator but not public release has been made after this.
u can download a source distro of validator and compile and use it.
> <form name="myExtForm1" extends="myForm1">
the above should work as is - i am using it :)

Hi!
Does anyone know about the way to "inherit" (1) and "reuse" (2) 
validations for multiple forms in validation.xml
Explanation:
1.
I have a number of myForms: myForm1, myForm2, and so on they are of 
class MyForm (so they all have same fields) and I want them to validate 
the same.
e.g.
<form name="myForm1, myForm2">
    <field
        property="elementIndex"
        depends="integer">
        <arg0 key="Element index" resource="false"/>
    </field>
</form>

2.
When I inherit MyExtForm from MyForm adding some fields and make 
form-beans myExtForms: myExtForm1, myExtForm2, and so on and would like 
them to "inherit" validation definitions from MyForm.

<form name="myExtForm1" extends="myForm1">
    //!!!validation for elementIndex field
    //already inherited!!!
    <field
       property="subElementIndex"
       depends="required">
       <arg0 key="Sub element index" resource="false"/>
    </field>
</form>

P.S.
this would "compress" size of the validator.xml file
(in my case 10-20 times!)
