status of validation frameworks

[sjivan]

I was wondering what the status of the commons validator framework and the rules based validator is.

The commons validator framework has been in the sandbox for a while now. Are they any plans of including it in a release version of Spring. I've been wanting to use the commons validator but I'm waiting for it to be part of an official Spring release first.

Is the rules based validator planned as a replacement for the commons validator?

Thanks,
Sanjiv

Is the declarative validation coming in 1.2, or will it be postponed again (to 1.3)?

It seems the declarative rules based validator has been postponed to 1.3. See the road-map.

You can try Matt Raible's Weblog on how to use commons validator with Spring.

I'm speaking a bit out of turn, but I doubt it. In general Spring isn't prescriptive.
