Page History

The aim of this page is to provide a summary of the changes in *Validator 1.2.0*. For a full list of the changes in Validator 1.2.0 see the \[http://people.apache.org/~niallp/commons-validator/1.2.0-rc2rc3/site/changes-report.html Changes Report\].

Explicit Form Inheritance is where one \[http://people.apache.org/~niallp/commons-validator/1.2.0-rc2rc3/site/apidocs/org/apache/commons/validator/Form.html Form\] can inherit from another by specifying the name of the form to inherit using the new *extends* property (which is also an new attribute in the \[http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta/commons/proper/validator/trunk/conf/share/validator_1_2_0.dtd?view=markup validator_1_2_0.dtd\]). See \[http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27870 #27870\].

Two new properties have been added to \[http://people.apache.org/~niallp/commons-validator/1.2.0-rc2rc3/site/apidocs/org/apache/commons/validator/Var.html Variable\] - *resource* and *bundle*. Setting *resource* to *true* (default is _false_) indicates that the variable's value is a _resource key_. Additionally the (optional) *bundle* property can be set to the name of an alternative resource bundle.
