Validators and converters are collectively referred to as plug-in classes because they can be written in isolation and then plugged into CA IAM CS using the connector.xml file (for single connector visibility), or the top-level server_jcs.xml file (for server-wide visibility).
The Spring Framework processes the contents of these files, and establishes the links between an attribute and the plug-ins triggered, based on its type as defined in metadata (for example, intValue) and its metadata property settings (for example, maxLength=30).
Note: For more information, see http://www.springframework.org
Validators are triggered before converters. Converters therefore know that their input is valid, and can focus on changing the form or syntax of attribute values as required.
