Description

in my current project i have forms, which need multiple form-validation
depending on the users input. since in the present implementation i can only
validate the form with one validator-key i suggest to add a new actionform-
method which allows to run a validation with a given validator-key provided by
the application. heres my implementation:
public class DynaValidatorWithFormKeyForm extends DynaValidatorForm {
...
public ActionErrors validate(String validationKey, ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {
if (log.isDebugEnabled())
log.debug("executing validate()");

final ServletContext application = getServlet().getServletContext();
final ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
final Validator validator = Resources.initValidator(validationKey,
this, application, request, errors, page);
try

{ validatorResults = validator.validate(); }

catch (ValidatorException e)

{ log.error(e.getMessage(), e); }

return errors;
}

}

this allows me to run different validations on one form...
