| 20 | * <b>Check Digit</b> calculation and validation. | |
| 21 | * <p> | |
| 22 | * The logic for validating check digits has previously been | |
| 23 | * embedded within the logic for specific code validation, which | |
| 24 | * includes other validations such as verifying the format | |
| 25 | * or length of a code. {@link CheckDigit} provides for separating out | |
| 26 | * the check digit calculation logic enabling it to be more easily | |
| 27 | * tested and reused. | |
| 28 | * </p> | |
| 29 | * <p> | |
| 30 | * Although Commons Validator is primarily concerned with validation, | |
| 31 | * {@link CheckDigit} also defines behaviour for calculating/generating check | |
| 32 | * digits, since it makes sense that users will want to (re-)use the | |
| 33 | * same logic for both. The {@link org.apache.commons.validator.routines.ISBNValidator} | |
| 34 | * makes specific use of this feature by providing the facility to validate ISBN-10 codes | |
| 35 | * and then convert them to the new ISBN-13 standard. | |
| 36 | * </p> | |
| 37 | * <p> | |
| 38 | * CheckDigit is used by the new generic @link CodeValidator} implementation. | |
| 39 | * </p> | |
