Groenewegen, Eelco Visser. Integration of Data Validation and User Interface Concerns in a DSL for Web Applications. In Mark G. J. van den Brand, Jeff Gray, editors, Software Language Engineering, Second International Conference, SLE 2009, Denver, USA, October, 2009. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer, 2009. Data validation rules constitute the constraints that data input and processing must adhere to in addition to the structural constraints imposed by a data model. Web modeling tools do not address data validation concerns explicitly, hampering full code generation and model expressivity. Web application frameworks do not offer a consistent interface for data validation. In this paper, we present a solution for the integration of declarative data validation rules with user interface models in the domain of web applications, unifying syntax, mechanisms for error handling, and semantics of validation checks, and covering value well-formedness, data invariants, input assertions, and action assertions.We have implemented the approach in WebDSL, a domain-specific language for the definition of web applications.","","en","lecture notes","Delft University of Technology, Software Engineering Research Group","","","","","","","","Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science","Software Computer Technology","","","",""
