    Removing/Deprecating ExtendedType.validateProperty()
    -----------------------------------------------------

             Key: CAY-657
             URL: http://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-657
         Project: Cayenne
            Type: Improvement

      Components: Cayenne Core Library
        Versions: 3.0
        Reporter: Andrus Adamchik
     Assigned to: Andrus Adamchik
         Fix For: 3.0

    ExtendedType.validateProperty() is out of place - it is used in CayenneDataObject self validation and requires CDO to access DataNode, which is a bad idea. I found only three standard types that actually implement validation:

    CharType (checks for String max length)
    BooleanType (checks for NOT NULL)
    ByteArrayType (checkes for byte[] max length)

    all these validations can be done simply by looking at the DbAttribute, so we can remove it without losing functionality.

    I plan to leave the method around as deprecated, but remove invocations from the code.
