Sebb resolved VALIDATOR-237.
----------------------------
Resolution: Abandoned
> 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: 1.4.0 Release
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Bhupesh Naik
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: test.actionframework.zip
>
>
> 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.
