AFAIK, conditional validation based on other rules is not implemented in
Intake.
However, you can plug in custom validators into each key or extend
DefaultValidtor to add
new rule types that take into account validation dependencies.
take a look at:
org.apache.turbine.services.intake.validator.DefaultValidator
org.apache.turbine.services.intake.validator.Validator

Continuing to use the example you provided.
//Get the instance of the Intake tool being used for this request
IntakeTool intake = (IntakeTool) TurbineVelocity.getContext(data)
.get("intake");
/*
* get the Intake group based on the group name and key.
* If you were using the default group instead of an
* existing object replace:
* intake.get("Inventory", data.getParameters()
* .getString(TurbineIntake
.getGroupKey("Inventory")))
* with:
* intake.get("Inventory",IntakeTool.DEFAULT_KEY);
*/
Group ig = intake.get("Inventory", data
.getParameters()
.getString(TurbineIntake
.getGroupKey("Inventory")));
// Create an Inventory to map the form to.
Inventory invObj = new Inventory();
/*
* This will the map form values into the
* this objects respective properties if
* all validations complete successfully
*/
ig.isAllValid()
{
ig.setProperties(invObj);
}

It will live on, however it will probably be in the decoupled
Fulcrum(Turbine Service)
framework instead of the base Turbine api. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
