Re: [actf-dev] Validation Rules in Java

Hi Yeliz,

Sorry for this late response.

Yesterday, I asked Mike to provide an instruction about this.
Please wait some more.

In org.eclipse.actf.examples.adesigner.eval.html project, HTML check logic 
in Java code that used in aDesigner is available. I think you can refer 
(and reuse) these
logic to implement validation rules.

Best regards,
Kentarou
