Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-4138:
----------------------------------------
I also needed to rely on {{TypeUtils}} from commons-lang3
(https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-3.1/org/apache/commons/lang3/reflect/TypeUtils.html)
which allows to extract the type parameter from the Validation implementation.
I therefore embedded commons-lang3 in the validator-impl bundle.
> Allow validator to support arbitrary types

> Key: SLING-4138
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4138
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Validation
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Assignee: Konrad Windszus
> Fix For: Validation 1.0.0
>
>
> Currently the {{Validator.validate}} method only act on String values.
> Since type conversion is already built into the ValueMap, it would be good to
> leverage that and to allow Validator to act on arbitrary types there!
> Also the type conversion from ValueMap should be leveraged to do the type
> check in {{ValidationServiceImpl.validatePropertyValue}} rather than
> implementing a new thing in {{Type.isValid()}}.
