/**
 * This implementation of {@link IValidatable} is meant to be used outside of Wicket. It allows
 * other parts of the application to utilize {@link IValidator}s for validation.
 * <p>
 * Example: <code><pre>
 * class WebService
 * {
 * 	public void addUser(String firstName, String lastName)
 * 	{
 * 		Validatable standin = new Validatable();
 * 		standin.setValue(firstName);
 * 		new FirstNameValidator().validate(standin);
 * 		standing.setValue(lastName);
 * 		new LastNameValidator().validate(standin);
 * 		if (!standin.isValid())
 * 		{
 * 			// roll your own ValidationException
 * 			throw new ValidationException(standin.getErrors());
 * 		}
 * 		else
 * 		{
 * 			// add user here
 * 		}
 * 	}
 * }
 * </pre></code>
