Hi all,
Is anyone using xdoclet validator tags with ValidatorActionForms to
generate different validation rule-sets per action? Is it even
possible?
As far as i know it is not possible. And in my humble opinion it's
not desirable.
I believe that each part of the code (class, method, etc) should be
used to do just one thing. So using a single ValidatorActionForm to
generate several validation rules seems too me a little bit tangled,
since it might get hard to discern which validation rule goes to
which action (at the setter doc comment).
You can code another ValidatorActionForm. Having one
ValidatorActionForm with its validation attached (just one) keeps the
design simple and easier to maintain. When coding it seems like
unnecessary work when you think you can re-use a class' bean
patterns and just generate different validation rules, but this might
get messy when maintenance time starts.
