I am working on validation for my User cfc. On different parts of the site when users register different criteria are asked for.
ie we offer a quick registration process where only email, username and password are mandatory. There is also a full registration where additional fields are mandatory. There will also be a third situation where different fields are mandatory if they are on the American version of the site, also slight changes for the German site. I thought that rather than have all the conditional code inside the bean that will constantly need tweaked I would use either State or Strategy pattern. State makes more sense to me and would create an abstract class (cf7 at the mo so no interfaces) called UserValidationState which would be subclassed by QuickRegValidation.cfc, FullRegisterValidation.cfc, QuickRegValidationUS.cfc etc etc and compose these concrete CFC's using the State pattern. I have a little bean factory that will create and compose the cfc's when a User object is created. Either client code or a service cfc will determine the state the object will be in when it is created. I'm interested in how others would approach it. Is using State the best way to do this or does Strategy make more sense (or something else I haven't thought of)? Lots of if statements in User.cfc is the one thing I don't want!
