Joe, I'm not on the dev list (I might join if no one shushes me. LOL)p so I'll ask this on the user list: I like the concept of Niall's "extends" validator chaining capabilities. I mention it because I'm thinking of using it. Do you know of any plans to add it to the v1.3 build? Niall's link is:

Friedman; Struts User Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts v1.3 nightly build question By the way: While I want to strongly encourage people to start using the 1.3 code, anyone who chooses to do so should be aware that this is under active development. The last thing I want to do is cut a release of Struts with stuff that really isn't necessary and then be stuck deprecating and waiting for a "safe" time to remove things. Specifically, I think that there's a good chance that the command implementation classes will change. I think that if we introduce the "ActionContext" class more widely throughout Struts, we will be able to remove many of the cases which currently require a separation between the o.a.s.chain.commands.generic.Abstract* and the concrete implementations in o.a.s.c.c.c.g.servlet. Of course, we'll update the default chain when we do this, but if you are also adding commands to the request processing cycle, you will have to keep up with this stuff yourself. (This then, is a strong warning that if you are using commons-chain for actions, you should use your own chain-config.xml files for those commands, rather than mingling them with the "struts" catalog.
