Recent validator DTDs indicate that each field element may have any number of child msg elements with optional attributes bundle and resource and required attributes key and name. Why then does the Field class not provide any accessor methods for retrieving Msg objects that have been associated with a particular field? The current getMsg() implementation returns only a String, even though an addMsg(Msg) method is provided. Shouldn't messages be handled by the Field class in a manner more consistent with its handling of Args?
The primary use case needs driving these questions are 1) to be able to extract key, name, bundle, and resource y/n information for a particular message belonging to a field and, 2) to retrieve multiple messages from a particular field. I believe that this functionality would be particularly useful in situations where the validator is used as a standalone validation framework by applications, since it allows for more flexibility when analyzing ValidatorResult instances.

I'd like to resolve these issues and then roll the 1.3.1 release. Accordingly, I'd like to nominate myself as a Validator Committer. Here's my +1 for me :) -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
