The Validator uses BeanUtils for all property calls to retrieve values to validate. And BeanUtils works with DynaBeans now, right? ex: value = PropertyUtils.getProperty(bean, property); So if I extend DynaActionForm (making ValidatorDynaActionForm) and add in a validate method that calls the Validator Framework shouldn't that work? The Validator extension of the DynaActionForm instance would be the bean variable in the example above. Hope that was clear. David --- "Craig R.
