Abstract Validation framework to Actions framework.
---------------------------------------------------
Key: VALIDATOR-237
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-237
Project: Commons Validator
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Framework
Affects Versions: 1.4
Environment: All
Reporter: Bhupesh Naik
Priority: Minor
Apache Commons validator can be ABSTRACTED to a common framework called ACTIONS
framework.
The Actions framework will act in similar manner as validation framework but
will be independent of the way in which actions are execute on the value.
Abstraction points.
1.Validation can be treated as any action
2.The value to be validated is treated as source value
3.The return value true/false can be treated as a target value
4.Source Value ---pass to--- > list of actions to be executed ----results
in---> Target Value
We have already done this in our enterprise product, we use apache validation
framework even for transforming values in our custom ETL framework.
Once the apache validator is abstracted as actions framework one can use the
same to not only validate the source value but to transform the value or even
in describing and modifying styles of controls in UI and much more. The
advantage here is we use the same digester , loading of elements, extending
forms and stuff, this code remains common.
