Description Christian Damus CLA 2007-03-15 16:06:31 EDT 
It would be useful if a validator could be configured using a constraints filter.  When running validation, the validator would ensure that it only runs constraints that are accepted by the filter.

EMFT validation already provides the FilteredCollection.Filter class which is used for filtering constraints (specifically in the batch validator).  An addConstraintsFilter method could be added to IValidator which accepts a FilteredCollection.Filter.

Committed the patch with the following changes:

  - added IValidator::removeConstraintFilter method for symmetry
  - made IValidator::getConstraintFilters result read-only

    no longer happens
