Robin,
I only have one issue with this approach. I dont know how to make use of the built-in validation rules provided in validation-rules.xml in my .java code.
You are not trying to replace the validator. You are still going to use it, so code in your normal rules in the XML file. All you're doing is providing an alternate key (if necessary), and invoking the validator yourself. Notice in the example it didn't do anything like checking for nulls; it called form.validate() which delegates to the validator.
