Viraj Turakhia updated LANG-458: -------------------------------- Attachment: (was: test_diff.txt) > 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 > Attachments: vaidate_diff.txt, validate_test_diff.txt > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
