OK I see what you mean and I agree its not possible to configure validator in the traditional way. So the question is what mechanism do you have that tells you how to validate these fields? You must be getting some meta data that indicates what validation needs to be done for a specific property? My first thought would be that when you receive that meta data, you use it to create the validator resources - basically doing the job that the ValidatorPlugIn does when it parses the validation.xml and loads the validators resources.
