I previously had the confirmPassword field in the UserFormEx.java - the reason I moved it to User.java is documented in the release notes for 0.8. ;-)
http://tinyurl.com/e5td - Moved "confirmPassword" property from UserFormEx.java to User.java so JavaScript validations would occur in the proper order. When it was in UserFormEx.java - the confirmPassword validation would get called before password, which seemed silly to me. This was an easy fix. A better solution is to add to XDoclet and possibly add an attribute (i.e. "order") that allows validation attributes to be specified, rather than calculated based on the order they appear in the source.
