Dear fellow developers.

First, I am happy that we can do validation outside forms pretty easily 
and that's a very good thing.

But I have a hard time understanding this one:

http://symfony.com/doc/master/book/validation.html#getters

This is about adding validation to the getters.

My question is simple: Could someone please explain to me why the validation 
is on the getter and not the setter?

When it's set it's already too late to handle the exception properly.

I would rather like to know that something is wrong with my data/value when
I *set* the value, not when I am about to use it.


And secondly; I would expect a true from a function with the name 
"isPasswordLegal" means the password *is* legal and not ending up with a 
validation error message.

So, am I just missing some logic here? I'd like to be educated.


Thomas.
