Oliver Lietz commented on SLING-6578: ------------------------------------- Instead of assuming service pid when simple string is given we can also create a default filter expression (e.g. {{(objectClass=org.apache.sling.validation.impl.validators.RegexValidator)}}) which is similar to current implementation expecting a class name. > Use "service.pid" property instead of class name to reference validators > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SLING-6578 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6578 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Konrad Windszus > Assignee: Konrad Windszus > > Leveraging the component's "service.pid" property value instead of its > classname is more stable (even if implementation changes, the PID might stay > the same) and also allows for configuration factories to refer to a specific > validator configuration. The fallback should be the property "component.name" > as "service.pid" is not always necessarily set. Basically the validator > should be referable via each of those value, i.e. one of the "service.pid"s > or the "component.name". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
