Then what were you talking about? Commons? Turbine? Torque? Something
else?

As has been said for testing for a long time.

Glad to hear you're always right and the others are always wrong. It
must make live very easy (or tiresome, as in this discussion). Please,
play the ball and not the person. The "you're too dumb to understand
this" argument does not impress me.

The consequence is the same, and the consequence is that commons has
_no_ validator framework now. Is this in the general interest of the
jakarta project? If yes, I will refrain from commenting further.
