Jeff… Solving the problem’s not the problem. Making the damned video of me solving the problem is the problem. I am in a state of lax discipline right now. Still, I got the first two segments taped, and all I need is to finish recording the third. — Hill

You can do it. You just got to the most “fun” part — a design challenge: “How do I get polymorphic behavior from final Java interfaces that I would rather not change?”

I think that the next double-dawg is my main mission this week. Out sick, today, as my next post mentions. But I may work on it anyway. Refactoring is one of my favorite things to do.

We’re all just dying to know how you’ll get polymorphic behavior out of an ‘@interface’. ;-> It’s a challenge!

2:55 to 3:15 in the screencast:
To offer a little clarification on the processing of the “Validations” annotation in the “processValidationAnnotationSingular” method: The “@Validations(…)” annotation contains 14 attributes, each of which is a typed array of validation annotations. See the “LotsOfParameterValues” class in the “AnnotationValidationConfigurationBuilder_Validations_Test” test for an example of its usage. So we’re looking at nested annotations.

It’s also useful to know that the depreciated “Validation” annotation, processed by the “processValidationPlural” method, is defined as containing an array of Validations annotations. (See “AnnotationValidationConfigurationBuilder_Validation_Test”) I think it’s deprecated because you can just merge all the contents of all the Validations it contains into one Validations annotation.

[I have no Earthly idea why the “DateRangeFieldValidator” annotation is omitted from the list of possible children of the Validations annotation. Maybe it’s an error.]

Merry Christmas! Er, ah… Happy Australia day! (January 26th

Thank you for the screen cast!

(And you’re welcome for the tests!)
