-----------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Allow for Required Option in VisitorFieldValidator
> --------------------------------------------------

> Key: WW-3477
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3477
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Other
> Reporter: Robert Nelson
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 6.1.0
>
>
> A number of projects I'm working on make use of the VisitorFieldValidator to
> pass validation handling back to our entity beans. In some cases we have a
> bean being set which is completely optional for the user. One example would
> be a Phone object representing a fax number. We have a bean, and it needs
> validation if they gave filled in those form fields, but if they didn't we
> don't need validation at all. If we apply the VisitorFieldValidator to that
> bean in the action it always validates against the bean even if the bean is
> completely empty (or filled with empty Strings). I would like to have the
> ability to mark a VistiorFieldValidation as optional, meaning if no
> properties were passed in for that bean it would not execute that bean's
> validators.
> I've written a custom validator to accomplish this which I've been using for
> a while, but I'd like to see this feature in the provided validator so others
> can use it. I imagine adding a property on the VisitorFieldValidator called
> "required" which would default to "true".
> I'm willing to write the code for this, but I'd like some input on the idea
> and some instructions on how I can help.
