INSTALLATION:

The RP Validation Classes download is via a zip file named rpValidationClasses.zip. This zip file contains a jar file named rpValidation.jar that contains both the source and the class files for the classes. Also contained within the zip file is the javadoc documentation for the classes. To install the classes, note the following:
  • If using the validation classes in a web application

    Simply copy the rpValidation.jar file into your web application's WEB-INF/lib/ directory or copy the rplog.jar file to a directory on the machine running the web application and include a reference to rpValidation.jar in the system classpath.

  • If using the validation classes in a java application

    Copy the rpValidation.jar file to a directory on the machine running the application. Then modify the classpath of that machine to include a reference to the jar. For example, on a Windows machine this can be accomplished as follows (assuming rpValidation.jar is copied to c:\classes):

    set CLASSPATH=c:\classes\rpValidation.jar;%CLASSPATH%

  • If using the framework in a situation where the classpath cannot be modified:

    Extract the file from rpValidation.jar and copy them to a directory already inlcuded in the classpath.
And that's all there is to using the RP Validation Classes. To download, go here.
