public class StrutsValidator

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

This class contains the default validations that are used in the validator-rules.xml file.

In general passin in a null or blank will return a null Object or a false boolean. However, nulls and blanks do not result in an error being added to the errors.

Parameters:

bean - The bean validation is being performed on.

va - The ValidatorAction that is currently being performed.
