my experience with the commons-validator was a positive one. it was definately a good choice for the layer it's used in. i believe we're using 1.0.2 version of the commons-validator.
one of the things that i most liked about using commons-validator is that you can create your own rules for handling validation. this makes it extremely easy to extend. if there is a requirement that a date field must be in the past, it is easy to create a validation method to handle that. if there is a requirement that one field depends on the value of another field (if obj.fieldA=="THIS", then obj.fieldB is required, etc) again, it's simple to create validators to handle those situations. i also liked using the xdoclet validationxml task since it has you put your validations right on the source code making those validations evident and fairly readable right in your javadocs. the commons-validator also makes it very easy to create junit tests for your validations. someplace in the application (ejb in my case), the validation needs to be checked and handled, but the validation rules and their application can be unit tested. hope this helps. ~mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Edgar Gonz�lez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 11:35 AM > To: 'Turbine Users List' > Subject: RE: commons-validator > > > Hi Mark, > > Thanks for your response. > > How do you define your experience with commons-validator?
