Hi, think of a business solution application, e.g. managing technical products with different physical specifications (working on something like that ;-), highly customizable CRM/ERP or whatever...
Three use-cases for xml based external validation definition (not to mention again client-side validation etc.) 1. Have a non java programming consultant install and customize the application for different clients 2. Have the client / user administer validations himself, without needing to know java, without the need to rebuild, documentable in user guide 3. Providing customizable closed source (if someone likes to...) More reasons needed ? :) Regards, - Rene On Wednesday 23 July 2003 19:58, Erik Hatcher wrote: > On Wednesday, July 23, 2003, at 10:41 AM, Jason Carreira wrote: > > Well, I like having validation dynamic by being outside the class > > because I have different contexts in which I want to validate a class. > > Data entry has one set of validations, whereas batch loading has > > another, etc...
