Hmm I cannot grok from what you said if you can use the Struts
validator to perform the attribute validation per credential.
It seems that the Struts validator can do simple validation
from an XML configuration file, but it would need
modification to allow this. My guess would be to modify
the XML grammar to allow a depend on role also.
An attribute of the field tag like this:
<field property="title"
depends="required"
credentials="admin,management" >
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<arg0 key="article.title.displayname" />
</field>
Thoughts?
