Per-method validations are supported, using the convention
* ActionClass-actionMethod-validation.xml This approach doesn't work with "dynamic method invocation" though (the WW ! notation), because of the way DMI is implemented. Per method validation does work with wildcards, though. -Ted. On 1/29/07, David Rupp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, all. I've submitted a patch to the XWork project (issue XW-470) that enables per-method validations when using annotations. This is, IMO, an improvement over the current behavior, with which all validations are attached to the class, and *all* fire when *any* method is executed. Since validation annotations, by definition, *must* be defined on a specific method, it seems more reasonable to expect that the validations defined on a given method would fire when - and only when - that method is executed. I have a specific need for this behavior on my current project, but I'd rather not be in the position of maintaining a forked version of XWork just for it. I'd love it if some of the folks from this group could take a look at my patch (included on the issue) and let me know how it can be improved, assuming I'm not the only one who would like to see this behavior implemented.
