Description

Taking into account that in the struts2 taglib a field usually has a name and a key (for its label), why there isn't also a fieldKey in validators?

For example, you have the following field in JSP:

<s:textfield name="name" key="personalData.name"/>

and then in the Action (ModelDriven) :

@RequiredStringValidator(type = ValidatorType.SIMPLE, fieldName = "model.name", key = "errors.required")

so you have to add to the .properties file personalData.name and also name. I would prefer something like:

@RequiredStringValidator(type = ValidatorType.SIMPLE, fieldName = "model.name", fieldKey = "personalData.name", key = "errors.required")

Am I missing something? If not, why does not exist the fieldKey in validators?

Thank you in advance
