Comment on Working With Integration Points: Anticorruption Layer by Sarah

I am not sure what you mean by validation. Typically I see two kinds of validation – validating that the user has entered text which can be converted into a type, like an email or a phone number (goes in controller-type layer) or a date and the business-rule type validation where you are not allowed to make a withdrawal from a bank account if you exceed your daily limit (goes in business services).
Is that the sort of validation that you mean?

simulators. yay! i have found simulators are great when the things you’re simulating are unreliable. they are great when you want to test your application quickly. they are great when you want to be able to work offline.

An alternative to rolling your own simulator for http services is the http-impersonator project. it can record http responses and then replay them.

So…. what is the difference of anti-corruption layers and validation?

Or you mean it is better to move the validation into another place? Which call anti-corruption layers ??

Nice.
The term non-functional requirements also bugs me… why do I want something to be non-functional?
I like cross-functional, much like AOP and cross-cutting

Thanks

Sarah, thanks for your post. I can especially relate, as I am an American still learning the differences in Australia. The first time I was asked for a rubber, I just didn’t know what to say. Fortunately, they reached over and got the eraser themselves
