All Implemented Interfaces:

public class ValidatorActionForm

extends ValidatorForm

implements java.io.Serializable

This class extends ValidatorForm and provides basic field validation based on an XML file. The key passed into the validator is the action element's 'path' attribute from the struts-config.xml which should match the form element's name attribute in the validation.xml.

• See ValidatorPlugin definition in struts-config.xml for validation rules.
