http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14146 Support for preconditions ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-10-31 21:07 ------- I started by using variables to specify my conditions with a naming convention like run<validator>if<property> as var-name, did not feel right putting my condition into a variable name. I can use requiredIf but then I would have to write XXXIf for every XXX validator I need to validate which is what I am trying to avoid. Being able to separate the conditional logic allows me to plug any validator I wish with out having to customize it for every condition. Also if the condition fails I should not run the validator, there is no result. This would work very well with the type validators like date validator that returns a parsed date or a null value, there is no third state. My implementation may not be ideal, however separating the conditional logic from the validator would help reuse them and make my validators generic which allows me to plug them in for various scenarios. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:commons-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:commons-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
