Commons validator default validation

[O'Connor, Daniel]

Hi There, 

I'm using commons-validator 1.3.0 and I'd like to be able to apply a
default validation rule to all the fields of a form bean. 

For example, what I'd like to be able to do is have a dynaValidatorForm
(myForm) which could be validated like so: 

<form name="myForm">
<field property="foo" depends="bar">
        </field>

        <field property="others" depends="mask"> 
                <var>
                        <var-name>mask</var-name>
                        <var-value>[AMASK]</var-value>
                </var>
        </field>
</form> 

So, if I had specific validation requirements for one field ( let's say
I knew it was number under 40 ) and just general validation for the
rest, I could specify it as above where the other fields in the form
bean would be validated according to the rules specified by "others". 

Is there any way I can do this?? 

Thanks a lot, 

Danny.
