It was fun to see all the discussion on validation lately. I was busy
trying to get my version of server-side CFC based data validation out
the door. This is the validator I demo at the last ACFUG meeting and
it's called Thor. It can be downloaded from
http://labs.fusionlink.com/katapult/index.cfm?page=projects/thor
For those who missed the meeting or didn't know about the project, Thor
is a ColdFusion component (CFC) based validator that has a variety of
features:
- Explicit / Implicit Validations
- Global Validation
- Specific and general error codes and flexibility to do
internationalization
- Field name mapping
- Validator/mapping/error code importing by CFC or XML
- Validator list reporting
- Fields not required option
- On-the-fly validation
- Logging
The docs I included with the project pretty much goes over everything
and there are examples as well. This is the first public release so feel
free to send me comments or questions. The idea of Thor is to make
server side validation stronger and yet easier to manage and maintain.
As an example, there is included with the project a pretty extensive
library for postal codes and phone numbers which takes a lot of the
guess work out of those items.
An important note is that Thor doesn't directly deal with SQL injection
or XSS attacks, there is another project I maintain that does help with
those attack vectors called Portcullis and it's at
