Puppet users - Jun 2014 - Type param validation & allowing for earlier catalogue resource creation...

Afternoon all, 

I've just hit an issue with my Puppet-Glassfish module, where I'm using 
Type param validation to check for file existence on the client - typically 
on files that are also defined earlier in the catalogue, but have not yet 
been applied to the client. 
An example is [1], with the file it's validating being created in [2].

However on the first run, the validation is rightly blowing out due to the 
file not existing - but it would by the time the resource was called if the 
puppet run proceeded... 

Is there a way of handling this validation dependency scenario in a more 
Puppet friendly method? 
As I'd like to retain the validation logic if possible, just to allow for 
more robust error handling... 

Cheers
Gavin
