Hi David,
the MetaData version is simply a newer API for the same approach.
Note that in several areas Bamboo isn't using the latest and greatest
so some things aren't the most recommended approach nowadays.
For the activateValidation method, initially we just setup
ValidationRules there. Afterwards we added constraints and used the
same method for it. Semantically this isn't correct since constraints
provide much more than just validation, so we added a more
appropriate method when the MetaData merging was implemented. They
both do exactly the same thing though, so you can freely use any of
the approaches.
Hope this clarifies it.
Best regards,
Geert

In working on my app, and studying bamboo, I've come across a
something I'm not sure how to deal with...
basically I see in the account creation in Bamboo, that the Account
class uses the Validation package to set up constraints on the
member variables of the Account object. In Rife/CRUD, this is done
through the MetaData class.
Is the use of these two schemes mutually exclusive? I.e., if I
use the/override the activateValidation() method so that I can
validate the input for my new accounts, can I still use the CRUD
generator to make a scaffolding to make an editing system for the
account data..?
regards,
David
