Hey all,
Before I start doing some late nights on this, would like some feedback if this 
1. makes sense
2. is too complex/non-standard
3. or if it is just plain nuts

You have data going into Struts forms, and you also have data going into Entity 
Beans/JDO/OR mapper.  Usually, these are the same fields and information.  Does it 
make sense to add Validator tags as you are defining Accessors within your Entity 
Beans/JDO/OR Mappers/DTOs/etc?

Entity Bean Example (MyExampleBean):

/**ClassLevel**/
/* Get a resource from within the JAR(aka getResourceAsStream).
 * @validator
 *      jarresource="validate.xml"
 *
*/

/**Method level:**/
/**
* Sets email
*
* @param java.lang.String the new email value
* @ejb:interface-method view-type="local"
* HERE IS THE NEW TAG - rule is applied from class-defined resources 
* @validator
*       rule="email"
*/
public abstract void setEmail(java.lang.String email);


This would create a new MyExampleValidator class (along the same premise as 
MyExampleUtil and MyExampleCMP). Pass the bean.field for validation and/or 
bean.value-object.  Obviously, this can easily be applied to Business Objects, DTO's, 
and of course JDO implementations.


>From 10,000 foot level, this looks like a good idea to me.  Input? Comments? 
>Yay/Nay/When can I help out?
