Abstract
A pluggable semantic verification and syntactic validation mechanism for server configuration information. In one embodiment, the data verification and validation mechanism may be implemented as modules that may be plugged into a framework. In one embodiment, the mechanism may include a generic test case framework that may call test cases to verify and validate changes to configuration information. In one embodiment, each test case may implement an interface through which the framework calls a test case. The test case may return results, e.g. whether the test passed or failed, and may return additional information, e.g. why the test failed. If the change is valid, then the change may be made to the configuration information. If the change is not valid, the change is not made or alternatively is made with a warning. If the change is made, one or more other servers may be notified of the change.
