public class DynaValidatorForm
extends DynaActionForm
implements org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean, java.io.Serializable

This class extends DynaActionForm and provides basic field validation based on an XML file. The key passed into the validator is the action element's 'name' attribute from the struts-config.xml which should match the form element's name attribute in the validation.xml.

  • See ValidatorPlugin definition in struts-config.xml for validation rules.
