Although there were no news the last two year, the idea of a project for validating CGI values was still alive. In the next weeks there will be an updated specification. But the really new thing will be its implementation: Instead of having large, programming language dependent libraries for parsing formdefs AND eventualy saving the parser tree, there will be a XSL transformation library for generating STATIC validator code. That may mean a drawback in contrast to the previous idea of having a dynamic library, but the XSLT way is much easier to handle. This libraries formdef parser contains well documentated and specified interfaces so it should be no problem supporting new programming languages.... read more
As announced some weeks ago (2005-07-21), here is release 1.0 of the VCV specification. Due to some work at university, my holiday and technical problems at SourceForge.net, it took some more time to release than expected. But now, here you are, at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=122243&package_id=162593&release_id=354646
I am proud to tell here, that the VCV specification is coming soon. In the next week I release the first version of the spec on the project homepage, so that VCV implementors can take it and start programming VCV implementation.
