MidpointFormValidator (midPoint Aggregate JavaDoc)

All Known Implementing Classes:

InducedEntitlementsValidator, MidpointFormValidatorImpl
```
public interface MidpointFormValidator
```
A simple interface that aims to work as a custom validation plugin used in GUI. This plugin should be used BEFORE the changes made by user are sent for processing to model component.

This plugin serves as another form of validation process and can be used, when standard validation mechanism of GUI forms (usually aimed to validate one field at a time) is not enough. A classic use case may be a situation, when we need to examine the relationship between attributes edited via GUI before sending them for processing to model component.
