I would like to implement custom validation rules for form inputs which go a 
bit beyond the standard RIFE ones.  I can understand how to add a custom 
error message so that failure of the validation can be reported.  What I 
can't figure out is where the actual rules go. For example, in a user manager 
app, I would like to:

(a) test whether password and retyped password are the same and complain if 
not.

(b) test that login name is an email address OR one of a fixed list of special 
names, and complain if not.

I am using bean constrained properties, so I imagine I ought to be able to 
define a custom constraint, perhaps by extending ConstrainedProperty to 
include new methods?  I don't see how I would do (a) this way (how to refer 
to another property to compare with?), though I could imagine (b) is soluble 
this way, though whether RIFE would register the connection between the 
custom method and the custom error message without some further code is 
doubtful!  I'm missing something - can someone help?

Thanks,

David Herbert.
