Extend ISBN validator to support smooth transition to ISBN-13 / EAN-13 standard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VALIDATOR-188
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-188
Project: Commons Validator
Type: Improvement
Versions: 1.2 Final
Reporter: Gabriel Belingueres
Hi,
I just revised the ISBNValidator to support ISBN-13 / EAN-13 standards, which
will begin its use on 2007 (see
http://www.isbn.org/standards/home/isbn/transition.asp for more information).
To support a smooth transition, I changed the isValid(String) method so that it
can validate all ISBN-10, ISBN-13 and EAN-13 codes. In addition, I created
methods for validating only ISBN-10, only EAN-13, or ISBN-13 / EAN-13 codes.
This way, anyone could have support for
the new standard by just changing the .jar file.
Please note that I've changed a few method names, and you may want to check the
code style to match the existing one (however I tried to follow it whenever I
could).
Regards,
Gabriel Belingueres
