Commons Validator is not capable of making a whole object required,
only properties. So when you add @spring.validator, it brings in the
properties from that object, not the object itself.
Hope this helps,

Hi Matt,
thanks for the hints.
it works, but i don't understand why the generated code for validation.xml
looks like this:
<form name="person">
<field property="personType.name" depends="required">
<arg0 key="person.personType.name"/>
</field>
</form>
In the Person-Pojo i annotated this:
/**
* @spring.validator
*/
public void setPersonType() { ... }
So, why validation.xml contains the "name" property, also for <arg>?! this
is bad to handle in the jsp-views.
In my opinion it should look like this:
<form name="person">
<field property="personType" depends="required">
<arg0 key="person.personType"/>
</field>
</form>
best wishes,
Patrick
