[FLOW3-general] Problem with validation

["Christian Müller (FLOW3 Team)"]

Hi,

yes it's true that is the state of the art. You need to add the notEmpty 
validator too if you want to prevent empty values, we found that having 
a restriction on the content may not be the same as wanting content at 
all. See for example the email address validation, you might want to 
have an email address in a certain property but it is not required to 
fill it at all.

Sure StringLength with minimum 1 is kind of an edge case, but still it 
is clearer to have both.

Cheers,
Christian
