hello alexander, i got your idea. however, i hope we will find a short and fancy name.
if we don't have 'core' within the name, i think we have to find something else than just 'validation'. otherwise it will be a bit confusing for users due to the fact that the core itself doesn't validate. concrete validation logic is located within the independent/optional modules. the target is to have a core which provides the infrastructure and which encapsulates the specifics of the jsf version. furthermore, the core is independent of specific annotations. the optional modules provide the concrete annotations and/or validation logic (independent of the jsf version). (reason for and/or: we don't provide the annotations of jpa nor of jsr 303 - we just provide the validation strategies for these external annotations.) @myfaces-commons-validation-annotations: it isn't a pure annotation module - it also provides the validation strategies and much more. (in the case of the jpa validation support it just provides the validation strategy.) moreover, i would suggest that we rename seven-validation to seven-ext-validation or a bit shorter: seven-extval (for extended validation) or something similar which indicates that these are our annotations (and so on). @myfaces-commons-validation-jsr303: i'm fine with both jsr303 (my original suggestion) or bean-validation the names of our compromise so far: myfaces-commons-[new name] (= the core) myfaces-commons-[new name]-validation (= our annotations + validation strategies incl. cross-component validation infrastructure and also the jpa validation strategy,...) myfaces-commons-[new name]-bean-validation (= the infrastructure and validation strategies to support jsr 303) fancy suggestions for [new name] are welcome. (we need some suggestions to open a vote.) or what's about something different it isn't my favourite - however, it might be an impulse for other suggestions. e.g.: myfaces-commons-validation-core myfaces-commons-validation-extval myfaces-commons-validation-jsr303 (or bean-validation) (i prefer an independent name.) regards, gerhard 2008/4/25 Jesse Alexander (KSFH 336) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > we are getting side-tracked... > let's find a name within this thread! :) > > validation ? > -> > myfaces-commons-validation > myfaces-commons-validation-annotations (was -validation) > myfaces-commons-validation-jsr303 (was bean-validation) > > > kind regards > Alexander > > -- http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces
