Re: Validator Framework

I thought ValidatorActionForm was going to be deprecated because the new form configuration functionality allows validation form inheritance and therefore makes the 'definition by action' redundant, since it becomes totally simple to define new forms without repeated heaps of fields.

Based on what Hubert said, the confusion I initially encountered was 180
from what apparently is typical. I thought everything wanted to know
about an Action, html:form's, etc :-/

I think the moment a form class got created whose name didn't end with
"ActionForm", problems were bound to show up..

Anyway, The logic I think currently goes like this-

[Dyna]ValidatorActionForms validate based upon the Action.
[Dyna]ValidatorForms validate based upon the Form.

What they should have been in the first place IMHO-

[Dyna]ActionValidatorForm and [Dyna]FormValidatorForm

Or (yeah, cumbersome but more consistent with everything else being an
"XXXActionForm"):

[Dyna]ActionValidatorActionForm and [Dyna]FormValidatorActionForm.

But since they werent created that way, with deprecations, this would be
REALLY CONFUSING(tm), so I'd suggest replacing "Validator" with
"Validation" in all of the above suggestions :-)

Let's try a quick poll -- are these better names?

NameDynaValidatorForm for DynaValidatorForm

PathDynaValidatorForm for

DynaValidatorActionForm

If so, we could deprecate the old names and put in new ones.

If these aren't good, people are encouraged to suggest better names.

You can also consider changing only the DynaValidatorActionForm, since IMHO that's the one that causes the confusion, and DynaValidatorForm already works the way other form beans do.
