Thanks for the response! My only concern with that approach is possible duplication / name clash of two different validators. Is there some way to effectively eliminate that?

Yeah, it's called a compiler. These are class names not simply strings.

Yeah, well if these 'identifiers' are class names this question would make no sense. It is clearly stated that v1 would be an id and I am making the case for these id's being in a human-understandable format.

I can't imagine any descriptive validator name clashing, but I'm not aware of the domain you are working in so I might be wrong. You might end up with some rather long names to guarantee 'uniqueness' but as long as those names are descriptive length should rarely be an issue.

Thanks for the responses. Are there any design related flaws with this approach (i.e. maintaining validators in the config) or is there any better,alternative way to achieve the same?
