Years ago Karl proposed to develop a form data validator he called
'response broker'. (The message is at [1]) Damon answered quite rightly
"haven't we all written something like this at some point?"
I'm now working on a refactoring of an application and I'm striving to
redesign it in a way to have an emphasis on object collaboration rather
than long and complicated methods. (I want to convince someone to adopt
it by enticing him into working with a set of easy to read and
understand classes)
Form data validation became soon one of the sore points: I can't imagine
a method for validation that can match safety and completeness without
being cumbersome, repetitive or, in a word, boring to work with
Much more exciting would be working on a real validator that solves to
some extent the general problem.
Has anyone worked on Karl's idea? Am I inexorably about to set out to
reinvent the wheel?
