I have been working on a Tomcat-based webapp and have heard that the Validator classes are a good way to cut back on some of the tediousity involved in validating user data. Since there are a number of forms in my webapp, I thought that it would be worth checking out, but I have some questions:

1. The dependency list on the site lists 7 different dependencies. Do I really need to have all of those in order to use Validator, or are some optional? I have somewhat limited space and would have to ask my sysadmin to install some of these libraries into the common areas on my behalf. (It is a Gentoo Linux box. I hope that these dependencies are available as packages for that distribution.)

2. I haven't used the code yet, only read through some of the API. Does it only work on JavaBeans? (Not a problem in my webapp but I'm just curious.)

I thought I had other questions, but that seems to be it for now. TIA!


Erik
