His suggestion is to use IObjectPostProcessor to set the FastValidate property. Since I don't want to set the property on every ValidatorGroup I adopted a naming convention for those groups I do desire the behavior and so I can easily identify them in the post processor. For example, In the configuration above I changed UserNameValidator to UserNameFastValidator. The post processor looks like,
1 public class FastValidatePostProcessor
2 : IObjectFactoryPostProcessor
3 {
4 public void PostProcessObjectFactory(IConfigurableListableObjectFactory factory)
5 {
6 string[] validatorGroupNames = factory.GetObjectNamesForType(typeof(ValidatorGroup));
7 foreach (string validatorGroupName in validatorGroupNames)
8 {
9
10 if (validatorGroupName.EndsWith("FastValidate"))
11 {
12 IObjectDefinition definition = factory.GetObjectDefinition(validatorGroupName);
13 definition.PropertyValues.Add("FastValidate", true);
14 }
15 }
16 }
17 }
All that is left is to add the object to the configuration file something like
1 <object type="XXX.Infrastructure.Validation.FastValidatePostProcessor, XXX.Infrastructure"/>
Thanks Mark!
