Validation frameworks

[James Young <co...@yahoo.com>]

I am looking for a validation framework used with
Struts. A quick browse at www.husted.com/struts gives
a few options:

 + REGEXP.VALIDATOR.STRUTS, by Emmanuel Boudrant 
 + Mapper, by Capco  
 + Struts Validator, by David Winterfeldt 

But only Struts Validator is included as a contrib in
the nightly build. Is there any reason for this?

And, I appreciate it if someone can share his
experience of using the above frameworks.

Many thanks.

James Young

Re: Validation frameworks

David Winterfeldt is a Struts committer, and donated his code to the
Apache Software Foundation. 

Since, like the Digester, et al, it is a generally useful package, it is
now being moved to the Jakarta Commons. 

We had parked it in the contrib for a time, while we discussed the
future direction of framework extensions. The Tiles package is also to
be proposed to Taglibs, and moved there if accepted (: which I think it
would be :). 

The Mapper is also a very capable package. It also provides for
conversions/transformations of properties, where the Validator does not.
Meanwhile, the Mapper does not provide client-side Javascript validation
the way the Validator does. I believe some people use both. 

Emmanuel's contribution is relatively recent, and is similar to David's.
