Usage

The DynamicInstallerRequirementValidator is an implicit data validator for checking a set of conditions on each panel change (forward only, not backward).

Therefore it is not required to add a <validator> element for the DynamicInstallerRequirementValidator to any of the panels and you should not even do so!

This validator applies just in case there are defined Dynamic Installer Requirements on the top level of the installation specification.

Common Example

<dynamicinstallerrequirements>
  <installerrequirement severity="ERROR"
                        condition="this.condition.must.be.valid"
                        messageid="this.condition.must.be.valid.translation.id"/>
  <installerrequirement severity="WARNING"
                        condition="this.condition.should.be.valid"
                        messageid="this.condition.should.be.valid.translation.id"/>
  ...
</dynamicinstallerrequirements>

If one of the conditions is false, this is counted as an error or warning respectively.
