Radu Cotescu updated SLING-2803:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: org.apache.sling.validation-2.zip

I've improved the API and added more functionality to the default implementation and testing modules.

The changes from the new attached archive (org.apache.sling.validation-2.zip, 3c00ec5e0a9fd983841e07194479fd30) include:

* API improvements / changes:
	- removed the ValidatorArgument object which was passed in lists in favour of a simple key-value arguments map
	- created a ValidatorException that can be thrown by Validators in case the validate method is called with missing but expected arguments
* CORE (default implementation):
	- implemented API changes
	- implemented validation models cache invalidation in ValidationServiceImpl
	- implemented validation models overlaying in ValidationServiceImpl (/apps/sling/validation/models vs. /libs/sling/validation/models)
	- provided a default RegexValidator that is more flexible than the previous AlphaCharactersValidator
* TEST SERVICES / IT
	- separated the test services from the integration tests by creating two additional submodules:
		1. test-services - some test services needed for triggering the validation code
		2. it-http - a jar containing integration tests that are run automatically on a customised Sling Launchpad

> Several Sling users have asked in the past [1] about a Validation mechanism in Sling that's able to validate data coming from the user. However, such a module is still missing.
> This issue is meant to track the work progress on such a module.
> Ideally the module should be able to validate both request parameters and Resources, by obtaining their properties via a ValueMap and provide feedback in case of a validation error.
