Description

As shown in this dtd:
http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd

the validator element in a faces-config.xml file should support nested attribute and property elements:

<validator>
<validator-id>xyValidtor</validator-name>
<validator-class>com.xy.XyValidator</validator-class>
<property>
<property-name>length</property-name>
<property-class>java.lang.Integer</property>
<default-value>40</default-value>
</property>
</validator>

However this appears to never have been implemented in either 1.1.x or 1.2.x of core; only validator-id and validator-class are supported. Note that the equivalent feature exists for converters, and does appear to have been implemented.
