I have some code that does not use the Apache commons validator plugin.
There is a method in LoginForm.java validate() that calls
isPasswordValid(password) that will query the database and validate the
password and set an error message if not, and this error message is
retrieved in the Action and a message displayed if the password was not
valid.
What I want to do is to eliminate the 'validate()' method in all of the
*Form.java classes and goto the Apache commons validator and enter the
rules for the password field in an entry in validator-user.xml.
With this file I can see things like minimum length etc, but how would I
validate the password if I remove the validate() method (seems easier to
do in code).
Ideally I need a combination of leaving the validate() method there (for
just this one case) and also have it check the requirements in the
validator-user.xml file (check the validator.xml file first for not
empty, min length etc) and then ultimately and finally check the entered
value against the database.
What is the best approach here for refactoring the application to remove
all validator() methods (all of which 90% of the time check the same
things), and go to using Apache commons validator (I need a hybrid
approach for the password field).
thanks
J.V.
