Re: Cakephp and metadata tables

Well, you could use the custom validation methods, so that your model
for the attributes implements one validation rule only.

That rule take into account the name of the attribute and invokes the
remaining validations that this attribute requires.

I assume here that the attribute will have the same validation rules
no matter which entity the attribute will be used.

Would that be a satisfying idea to you?
Enjoy,
John
