Description
If there is an error converting a field, the validators for that field should be skipped. For example, let's say I have an action with an "age" field declared as an Integer, and the field is required. If the user enters "one", the user will see two errors: one from the conversion process, and one from the required validator (since the field was never assigned).
In general, a conversion error should short-circuit all validators for that field, since validators depend on the field being set, which never happens if there was a conversion error.
Validators are essential for real world projects, this is a big issue with struts2.
look at stripes framework for a good designed validator framework.
