/**
 * A validator describes a check that should be performed on a value the user is trying to save. <p> Validators are
 * specified for DataSource fields via the {@link com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSourceField#getValidators
 * DataSourceField.validators} property and {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.ValidatorExecution are executed in the order in
 * which they are defined}. Validators that need not be run on the server can also be specified for a specific {@link
 * com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.FormItem} or {@link com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.ListGridField}. <p> Smart
 * GWT supports a powerful library of {@link com.smartgwt.client.types.ValidatorType ValidatorTypes} which have identical
 * behavior on both the client and the server.   <p>  Beyond this, custom validators can be defined on the client and
 * custom validation logic added on the server.  Note that the <code>regexp</code> and <code>mask</code> validator types
 * are very flexible and can be used to perform virtually any kind of formatting check that doesn't involve some large
 * external dataset. <p> Custom validators can be reused on the client by adding them to the global validator list, via the
 * {@link com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.validator.Validator#addValidator addValidator()} method.

     * Used to create a conditional validator based on {@link com.smartgwt.client.data.AdvancedCriteria criteria}.
     *  The criteria defines when the validator applies. The form current values or ListGrid record
     *  is used as reference for the criteria. If the criteria match, then the validator will be
     *  processed. Otherwise the validator is skipped and assumed valid.
     *  <p>
     *  To use an <code>applyWhen</code> criteria the form or grid must use a {@link com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSource}.
     *  <p>
     *  <strong>NOTE:</strong> <code>applyWhen</code> is not supported for "binary" fields.
     *  <p>
     *  <h3>Server and client use</h3>
     *  Conditional validators are enforced both on the server and on the client-side
     *  when defined on a DataSource field as shown in the examples below. Note the
     *  <code>applyWhen</code> element is treated as a {@link com.smartgwt.client.data.Criterion}.
     *  <pre>
     *  &lt;!-- Normal format --&gt;
     *  &lt;field name="age" type="integer"&gt;
     *    &lt;validators&gt;
     *      &lt;validator type="integerRange" min="0" max="100"&gt;
     *        &lt;applyWhen operator="or"&gt;
     *          &lt;criteria&gt;
     *            &lt;criterion fieldName="restrictAge" operator="equals" value="true"/&gt;
     *            &lt;criterion fieldName="gender" operator="equals" value="female"/&gt;
     *          &lt;/criteria&gt; 
     *        &lt;/applyWhen&gt;
     *      &lt;/validator&gt;
     *    &lt;/validators&gt;

     *      &lt;/validator&gt;
     *    &lt;/validators&gt;
     *  &lt;/field&gt;
     *  </pre>
     * 
     *  The last example above shows an alternate to the <code>requiredIf</code> validator using a
     *  {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.XmlCriteriaShorthand shorthand format} which is only available for client-side
     *  use. On the client the <code>reason</code> field will change appearance to match other
     *  required or non-required fields when <code>willAttend</code> changes.  Note that using
     *  <code>applyWhen</code> for a validator of type <code>required</code> as in the example may
     *  result in validation request being set to the server where a fetch is made against the
     *  DataSource.  For more details, see the discussion at the end of the
     *  {@link com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSourceField#getRequired DataSourceField.required} help topic.
     *  <p>
     *  <h3>Component XML and client-only use</h3> 
     *  Conditional validators can also be applied to {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.ComponentXML Component XML}
     *  similarly to provide client-only validations or read-only state management. A common
     *  use case is conditionally displaying or enabling fields. Use the <code>readOnly</code>
     *  validator with an <code>applyWhen</code> value to control the read-only appearance of a
     *  field. The example below shows a field which is hidden when <code>willAttend=true</code>.
     *  <pre>
