I just put together a class that uses the Validator from within a LookupDispatchAction. The class could be easily included into the Struts distribution. It is very useful to have the validation available to call from within the DispatchAction because different methods require different validation. Anyways, I have heard others speak of Action based validation (Craig included). This is not as useful in regular action forms because the mapping allows for the flexibility. But for those of us who use the Dispatch... this type of validation is uesful. The code should be ready to drop in with no changes.
FYI - The class extends DispatchAction and uses the same code as the LookupDispatchAction. I took the validation code from the ValidatorActionForm and included it in the ValidatorLookupDispatchAction class with some minor changes. Basically, the key that is looked up in the validation.xml form name is the ActionMapping url plus a dot method name. (.i.e. /myAction.do.edit <- edit is the method name). Any committers willing to give it a thumbs up!?
