[S2] Validation aliases seem broken

[Brian Pontarelli]

I'm trying to put together a form that uses the bang notation for action 
methods and for whatever reason I can't seem to get the aliased 
validation XML files to work and have to resort to some fairly nasty 
@SkipValidation hacks. Anyone see this also or is there a patch for it 
in a version later than 2.0.6?

Here's my example form and action:
 <struts:form action="newsPersist!save">
   <struts:textarea name="news.article" label="Article body" 
labelposition="top" required="true"/>
   <struts:textfield name="news.date" label="Post date" 
labelposition="top" required="true"/>
   <struts:submit name="Submit" value="Submit"/>
 </struts:form>

public class NewsPersist extends BaseAction {
   private Integer id;
   private News news;

   @Inject
   public NewsPersist(JPAService jpaService, Configuration configuration) {
       super(catapultBeanService, configuration);
   }

   public Integer getId() {
       return id;
   }

   public void setId(Integer id) {
       this.id = id;
   }

   public News getNews() {
       return news;
   }

   public void setNews(News news) {
       this.news = news;
   }

   @SkipValidation
   public String add() {
       return "form";
   }

   @SkipValidation
   public String edit() {
       news = jpaService.getById(News.class, id);
       if (news == null) {
           addActionError("News item was removed.");
           return "notFound";
       }

       return "form";
   }

   public String save() {
       jpaService.persist(news);
       return "success";
   }
}


And finally, I have a single validation file named:

NewsPersist-validation.xml

What I figured would work was an XML file named:

NewsPersist-save-validation.xml

This doesn't seem to work however. Any ideas?
