validator - intRange - enhancement?

[Nathan Coast <na...@codeczar.com>]

Hi,

for the various range validations, is it possible to specify greater 
than or less than ranges (ie, either no max or no min)?

if not, would this make a sensible enhancement?

At the moment for an integer > 0 I specify

<field property="id" depends="integer,intRange">
   <arg key="com.codeczar.news.News.id.label" position="0"/>
   <arg name="intRange" key="${var:min}" resource="false" position="1"/>
   <arg name="intRange" key="${var:max}" resource="false" position="2"/>
   <var>
     <var-name>min</var-name>
     <var-value>1</var-value>
   </var>
   <var>
     <var-name>max</var-name>
     <var-value>2147483647</var-value>
   </var>
</field>

would it be 'nicer' to be able to specify:

<field property="id" depends="integer,intRange">
   <arg key="com.codeczar.news.News.id.label" position="0"/>
   <arg name="intRange" key="${var:min}" resource="false" position="1"/>
   <var>
     <var-name>min</var-name>
     <var-value>1</var-value>
   </var>
</field>

Also, this gives me two error messages if my value is greater than 
2147483647 - firstly telling me that this is not an integer, although 
this makes sense to nerds like me, it might not make sense to an end user.

I have the option of excluding the integer depends but this then tells 
me that 'abcdef is not in the range 0 - 2147483647', where 'abcdef is 
not an integer' would be the better message

cheers
Nathan
