I was looking into using bval to do RDF (triple store) validation but the
API currently does not allow for modifications at that level..
What I want is to have a validation xml like follows:
<bean class="
http://cambridgesemantics.com/ontologies/2009/08/Predicate#Person";
ignore-annotations="false">
<field name="
http://cambridgesemantics.com/ontologies/2009/08/Predicate#reqProp";>
</field>
</bean>
Where instead of the class being a class it's at URI defining an RDF type
and the fieled is a URI defining a predicate.
When I follow the code base in ApacheValidatorFactory it instantiates new
ValidationMappingParser
which appears to be very class centric hence I can't really implement a
variation that doesn't just override the accessors.
I would like to be able to do validate(aPerson) and in configuration define
what property off the object defines the type rather than the Class itself.
Then I would also like to overide the field accessors so I can make my own
implementation of how to extract the value of each field from the object.
So simply I'm asking for the standard java validation spec (or at least
this implementation) to allow for more flexible validation options.
Any thoughts?
