My initial thoughts were to look at what some of the advanced HTML
authoring tools, like FrontPage and Dreamweaver do with this. Craig
mentioned to me that the client-side validations should be coordinated
with any new work on server-side validations.
Obviously, some standard "domain type" validations would be very useful,
corresponding to Java or SQL types. These might be the sorts of things
we could easily add as properties, and would fit in with any IDE
integration projects.
These could then be braced server-side with hardcore regex validations,
along with any business logic checking.
Of course, late-model Javascript also supports regex ...
