Category:OWASP Content Validation using Java Annotations Project - SHIP Validator 0.3 Release - Roadmap

For this release we wished to add more javadoc, refactor the code to be more readable and add more diagrams to explain the code. In the work we discovered and fixed a bug in MetaConstraints. This bug was also in the previous two releases, but has been removed.

Usage

1) Add the SHIPValidator.jar to your classpath 2) Test whether it works by using the following command: java no.uib.ii.ship.validation.test.Webform

3) Add the following code to your application to use the validator:

IValidatorFactory vf = new ValidatorFactory; //Instantiate a validator factory Validator val = vf.getValidator; // Create a validator ValidationSummary vs = val.validate(w); // validate the annotated object w  System.out.println(vs.toString); // See the outcome of the test (notice that "val" can be reused without having to instantiate a new validator)

In the folder tex is possible to find the article describing the framework which can be used as a first draft of the manual.
