Viraj Turakhia commented on LANG-458:
-------------------------------------
I agree, we can't change existing API and return type is not Java's signature
part.
But I was hoping to add isXX equivalent for existing methods.
e.g. boolean isEmpty(Collection c)
boolean isNull(Object o)
boolean hasElementOfType(Collection c, Class clazz)
.. etc
> Add methods to return boolean from Validate.java instead of throwing
> IllegalArgumentException

> Key: LANG-458
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-458
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: software
> Reporter: Viraj Turakhia
> Priority: Minor
>
> I am using Validate.java since long and find it difficult to use when I just
> want to validate collections or string.
> With current interface, I go like this:
> while(cnt < list.size()) {
> List list1 = list.get(cnt);
> try {
> Validate.notEmpty(list1);
> } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
> continue;
> }
> }
> much better approach is:
> while(cnt < list.size()) {
> List list1 = list.get(cnt);
> try {
> if(! Validate.notEmpty(list1)) {
> continue;
> }
> }
> If you all agree with this change, I am willing to submit a patch for this.
