http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34849 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-05-11 04:44 ------- There are a number of reasons why validwhen has been a pain: 1) Its not supported by the original author and pretty much anyone else. 2) Inadequate documentation and no examples in the examples webapp. 3) No unit tests provided. 4) Debugging when it goes wrong was a real pain. I never personally use validwhen, but since it has been "released" have felt obliged to support it. In order that we don't face a similar situation with this JEXL validator I would be -1 to including it unless the above issues are addressed for it. I agree that we don't want a dependency on JSTL just because of EnumeratedMap. Especially since we wouldn't be able to distribute a jar for it, since there are different JSTL versions for Servlet 2.3 and Servlet 2.4. Seems to me that since it is completely servlet dependant, it doesn't really fit in Commons Validator, so IMO it would be better off in struts. Also any docs need to make it clear that no client side validation will be generated. I agree with you Joe in the validator name - jexl would be better. Also IMO its better if the param name is different to the validator name - that way it is less confusing what you're talking about when someone has it configured wrongly. How about "test" for the parameter - same as validwhen (anyone would have to be mad to use both validators for the same field!) Having said all that - I agree, looks better than validwhen, but since I hate validwhen thats not saying alot! -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
