     *  <strong>NOTE:</strong> <code>applyWhen</code> is not supported for "binary" fields.

     *  <h3>Server and client use</h3>

     *  when defined on a DataSource field as shown in the examples below. Note the
     * <code>applyWhen</code> element is treated as a {@link

     *  &lt;field name="shipDate" type="date"&gt;
     *    &lt;validators&gt;

     *    &lt;/validators&gt;
     *  &lt;/field&gt;
     *  </pre>
     * 
     *  The first example shows a conditional <code>required</code>
     * validator using {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.XmlCriteriaShorthand shorthand\n format}.  For
     * conditionally required fields, prefer
     * {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds.DataSourceField#requiredWhen
     * DataSourceField.requiredWhen} &mdash; it is simpler
     *  (no validator wrapper), enforced on both client and server,
     *  and supports the full ServerDynamicCriteria syntax.
     *  Using <code>applyWhen</code> with <code>type:"required"</code>
     *  as shown here still works but introduces complexities
     *  around partial-record edits; see the discussion at the end
     * of the {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds.DataSourceField#required
     * DataSourceField.required} help topic.
     *  <p>
     *  Conditional validators can also be applied to
     *  {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.ComponentXML Component XML} and to DynamicForm
     *  or ListGrid fields in
     *  Java
     *  code as well.
     *  <p>
     *  <h3>Authentication, request context, and relational references</h3>
     *  Because the type of <code>applyWhen</code> is ServerDynamicCriteria, the
     *  <code>fieldName</code> in criteria can also reference:
     *  <ul>
     *  <li>The current user and request context
     *      (<code>auth.*</code>, <code>context.*</code>)
     *      &mdash; see ServerDynamicCriteria for
     *      which variables are available client-side vs.
     *      server-only</li>
     *  <li>Fields on related DataSources via
     *      {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.RelationalReference dot notation},
     *      e.g. <code>Order.status</code></li>
     *  </ul>
     *  See ServerDynamicCriteria for the full syntax.
     *  <P>
     *  <h3>Security</h3>
     *  On the server, <code>applyWhen</code> criteria are evaluated against the stored database
     *  record overlaid with submitted update values.  Client-sent <code>oldValues</code> are never
     *  used, preventing spoofing attacks where a client fabricates field values to bypass
     *  validation.  For fields not included in the submitted update, the database value is used.
     *
     * <p>Default value is null
     * @see com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds.Validator#passWhen
     * @see com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds.Validator#failWhen
     */
    public AdvancedCriteria applyWhen;

    /**
     * For validators of type "serverCustom" only: a scriptlet in any supported JSR223 scripting
     *  language which is run in order to see if validation passes.  For example:
     *  <P>
     *  <pre>

     *  invalid, an exception is thrown and the error message is displayed in the client.
     *  <P>
     * See {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.ServerScript} for general information on Server Scripting
     * and JSR223, and
     * {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.VelocitySupport} for general information on Velocity support,
     * and also see below
     *  for special rules for Velocity.
     *  <P>
     *  <b>Available variables</b>
     *  The following variables are available in a <code>serverCondition</code>:
     *  <ul>
     *  <li><b>dataSource</b> - The current DataSource</li>
     *  <li><b>record</b> - Other submitted values part of the same update</li>
     *  <li><b>value</b> - The value of the field</li>
     *  <li><b>validator</b> - The config of this validator, including all attributes declared on
     *                         the &lt;validator&gt; tag, presented as a <code>Map</code></li>
     *  <li><b>field</b> - The field (as a <code>DSField</code> object)</li>
     *  </ul>
     *  Note that "record" will contain only other values submitted at the same time, not the
     *  complete DataSource record.  For most types of cross-field validation, you should fetch the
     *  current saved record using the server-side API DataSource.fetchById().  For example, in
     *  Velocity:
     *  <pre>
     *      $dataSource.fetchById($record.<i>primaryKeyField</i>).otherFieldName
     *  </pre>
     *  Note that, while a DSRequest provides dsRequest.oldValues, these values cannot be relied
     *  upon for a security check since they could be faked.
     *  <P>
     *  Server-side custom validators also have access to the standard set of context variables that
     *  come from the Servlet API.  However, be aware that if you write conditions that depend upon 
     *  these variables, you preclude your Validator from being used in the widest possible variety 
     *  of circumstances; for example, in a command-line process.  Rather, it will be tied to 
     *  operating in the context of, say, an <code>HttpSession</code>.  
     *  <P>
     *  Given the above caveat, the following context variables are also available:
     *  <ul>
     *  <li><b>servletRequest</b> - The associated <code>HttpServletRequest</code></li>
     *  <li><b>session</b> - The associated <code>HttpSession</code></li>
     *  <li><b>httpParameters</b> - This variable gives you access to the parameters <code>Map</code>
     *          of the associated <code>HttpServletRequest</code>; it is an alternate form of 
     *          <code>$servletRequest.getParameter</code></li>
     * <li><b>requestAttributes</b> - This variable gives you access to the attributes
     * <code>Map</code> 
     *          of the associated <code>HttpServletRequest</code>; it is an alternate form of 
     *          <code>$servletRequest.getAttribute</code></li>
     * <li><b>sessionAttributes</b> - This variable gives you access to the attributes
     * <code>Map</code> 
     *          of the associated <code>HttpSession</code>; it is an alternate form of 
     *          <code>$session.getAttribute</code></li>
     *  </ul>
     *  <P>
     *  <b>Special considerations for Velocity</b>
     *  <P>
     *  To return a true or false value in Velocity, you script can either be just an expression
     *  that returns a boolean value, or the result of evaluating the Velocity template can result
     *  in output of "true" or "false".  All of the following are valid forms:
     *  <p><code>
     *  &nbsp;&nbsp;$value &lt; 100<br>
     *  &nbsp;&nbsp;$util.contains($value, "some string")<br>
     * &nbsp;&nbsp;$record.someField</code>(assuming that "someField" contains a boolean
     * value)<code><br>
     *  &nbsp;&nbsp;$value &gt; $record.otherField</code>
     *  <P>
     *  For additional troubleshooting information when Velocity expressions aren't working as
     *  expected, set the log category org.apache.Velocity to DEBUG in log4j.isc.config.xml.
     *  <P>
     *  Because it's tricky to call arbitrary Java methods in Velocity, the following special
     *  objects are passed to Velocity for convenience:
     *  <ul>
     *  <li><b>dataSources</b> - The list of all DataSources, accessible by name (so, for example, 
     *      <code>$dataSources.supplyItem</code> refers to the <code>supplyItem</code> DataSource
     *      object).</li>
     *  <li><b>util</b> - A <code>com.isomorphic.util.DataTools</code> object, giving you access to
     *                all of that class's useful helper functions</li>
     *  </ul>
     *  <P>
     *  <b>Note:</b> if your validation logic can be expressed as
     *  ServerDynamicCriteria, consider using
     * {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds.Validator#passWhen passWhen} or {@link

     *  method on it to perform validation.
     *  <P>
     *  The target object must implement a method whose first 4 arguments are:
     *  <code>
     *     Object value, Validator validator, String fieldName, Map record
     *  </code><p>
     *  (<code>com.isomorphic.datasource.Validator</code> is a subclass of <code>Map</code> that 
     *  represents a validator's configuration, and also provides APIs for implementing templated
     *  error messages).<p>
     *  You provide the name of the method to call by specifying 
     *  {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds.ServerObject#methodName methodName}
     *  as part of the serverObject declaration.  If you do not specify a methodName, Smart GWT 
     *  expects to find a compliant method called "condition".
     *  <P>
     *  Additional arguments may be declared and are automatically supplied based on the declared
     * argument type, via {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.DmiOverview DMI}.  Available objects
     * include:
     *  <ul>
     *  <li><b>DataSource</b> - the DataSource where this validator is declared, an instance of
     *                          com.isomorphic.datasource.DataSource or a subclass</li>
     *  <li><b>HttpServletRequest</b> - from standard Java servlets API</li>
     *  <li><b>HttpServletResponse</b> - from standard Java servlets API</li>
     *  <li><b>ServletContext</b> - from standard Java servlets API</li>
     *  <li><b>HttpSession</b> - from standard Java servlets API</li>
     *  <li><b>RequestContext</b> - an instance of com.isomorphic.servlet.RequestContext</li>
     *  <li><b>RPCManager</b> - the RPCManager associated with the transaction this validation is 
     *                          part of; an instance of com.isomorphic.rpc.RPCManager</li>
     * <li><b>DSRequest</b> - the DSRequest this validation is part of; an instance of
     * com.isomorphic.datasource.DSRequest</li>
     * <li><b>DSField</b> - the datasource field which value is validated; an instance of
     * com.isomorphic.datasource.DSField</li>
     * <li><b>ValidationContext</b> - the context where value is validated; an instance of
     * com.isomorphic.datasource.ValidationContext</li>
     *  </ul>
     *  Note that any servlet-related objects will not be available if your validator is run outside
     *  of the scope of an HTTP servlet request, such as a command-line process.
     *  <p>
     *  Note that "record" will contain only other values submitted at the same time, not the
     *  complete DataSource record.  For most types of cross-field validation, you should fetch the
     *  current saved record.  For example:
     *  <pre>
     *      final Map<String, Object> existingRecord = dataSource.fetchById(record);
     *  </pre>
     *  <P>
     *  <b>Note:</b> if your validation logic can be expressed as criteria, consider using
     * {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds.Validator#passWhen passWhen} or {@link
     * com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds.Validator#failWhen failWhen} instead of a DMI call &mdash;
     * these
