| <h1 class="topictitle1">Validating code in enterprise applications</h1> |
| <div><div class="section"> <p>The workbench provides manual code validation, code validation |
| during a build, and automatic code validation of project resources. Manual |
| code validation is explicitly invoked by the user, and it immediately validates |
| the resources contained in a selected project. Build validation occurs when |
| you manually invoke a build. Automatic code validation occurs whenever an |
| automatic incremental build occurs as a result of a resource change, such |
| as when a project is created, a .java file is edited, or a model file (such |
| as ejb-jar.xml, .mapxmi, or .rdbxmi) is changed or saved. By |
| default, manual code validation and automatic code validation are enabled |
| in the preferences.</p> |
| <p>On the Properties page for each enterprise application |
| module project, you will find a list of validators that you can run against |
| a selected project. The list of validators is different for each type of project.</p> |
