Class CommonValidator

java.lang.Object
  org.hyperic.util.validator.common.CommonValidator

public class CommonValidator
extends java.lang.Object

Encapsulates most of specific jakarta commons validator logic and provides access to validation results.

NOTE: Very heavily commented so as to persuade others to use and extend. The commons validation logic is a little bulky and awkward so consider this as a good place to put any further wrapper methods.
