great stuff, thanks Niall,
seeing as you're obviously fairly involved with struts and validator, you might be able to answer this for me.....
I've been thinking that much of the struts related artifacts could be generated from a number of models. I have dug around a fair bit but not found anything that looks like what I'm thinking.
a data model - describes your entities (or whatever you choose to call them), describes their properties and validations required for each property. The data model could also contain internationalised labels for entities and properties.
a form model - describes the fields of your forms with individual fields referencing entity properties in your data model, possibly describing whether that field needs validating, possibly overriding the validation for an individual field.
ActionForms, validations.xml, jsps and message resources could in theory be generated by combining these two models.
the next step would be to generate your db schema, entity beans, jdo, hibernate, ibatis, whatever..... from your data model and then take the rest of the week off.
My question is.... know of anyone who's working on something like this?
cheers Nathan

Its on my todo list, but unfortunately I haven't had much time recently.
The first part of resolving this was some minor changes to Commons Validator - those I've done and released in Validator version 1.1.4 just before Christmas. The second part is to then modify Struts - that bit I'm hoping to get round to in the next week or two.

Subject: multiple message resources and validator
Hi,
following on from my previous email about multiple message resource files, it looks like the validator doesn't support multiple message resource bundles.
I found this workaround http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/Dynaform/index-7.html
An alternative is to assemble a single ApplicationResources.properties from the individual message files.
Is there any plan to modify the validator to support multiple message resources?
