* only objects in the web tier , the data - access tier , or the
* whatever - tier . As such it is amenable to being used in any layer
* of an application , and supports the encapsulation of validation
* logic as first - class citizens in their own right .

* properties of a < code > UserLogin < / code > instance are not empty
* ( that is they are not < code > null < / code > and do not consist
* wholly of whitespace ) , and that any password that is present is
* at least < code > ' MINIMUM_PASSWORD_LENGTH ' < / code > characters in length .
