OpenMRS Preferred Patient Fix

Progress on the home front...
Our group has finally solved our bug. As described in my previous blogs, OpenMRS does not require that you have a preferred patient ID. Our patch now fixes that and requires that a user enters a preferred patient ID. Our fix required quite a bit of research on our parts to find how OpenMRS uses the SpringMVC framework for patient form validation. After finding out where OpenMRS had their validators placed we were able to go ahead and create a new validator and its entities in order to require that the user input a preferred patient identifier.


Plans for the future
now that we have fixed our bug we are thinking of creating a code repository, which we really didn't need before, in order to handle the changes within our group. Our next process for our bug fix is to post our patch for code review within the OpenMRS ticket system(JIRA). Right now our group has not decided on a contribution for the rest of the semester but we hope to have one chosen and a road map in place by the end of the week.
