Description

Why is the class protected:
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorResult.ResultStatus
I implemented a special ValidatorForm that needs to access to this object to
check that no validations error exists for a particular property form and if so
do some job, I don't find any other way than accessing to this object.
In my opinion, it's an API bug, because the method
ValidatorResult#getActionMap() is public but it return a map where values are
ValidatorResult.ResultStatus making this method useless.
Could ValidatorResult.ResultStatus become public ?
I can send you the patch but is it necessary regarding the modification
Thank you.
