[katello-devel] Apipie and validation.

[Dmitri Dolguikh]

Apipie performs some of the validation on the server-side.

I'll put aside the issue of whether a documention tool should 
participate in determining validity of passed-in parameters. The issue 
is that it either duplicates validators of the underlying model, or 
overly constraints the parameters (in other words, a valid 
ActiveModel/ActiveResource object is considered can be rendered invalid 
by Apipie validators). Case in point:

an update operation for ConfigTemplate fails because 
template_combination_attributes is null.


Can we please remove validation from apipie, and rely on Rails for that?
