Query depends part of validation.xml ?

[Twan Kogels <tw...@twansoft.com>]

Hello people,

I'm wondering if there is a way to query the value's in validation.xml. I'm 
particulary interested in the "depends" part which contains the "required" 
statement.

This one indicates if a form field is required. When i know this one then i 
can program a general routine which prints a little red star with the 
required form field in my html.

But the problem is i don't know how i can query the "depends" part in the 
validation.xml. Does anybody know where i must start, for example which 
classes should i extend or override?

I'm currently using Velocity for my View layer.

Can anyone offer me a helping hand?

Cheers,
Twan Kogels

Hello again ;-)

I've dived into the struts source code and struggled for a couple of hours 
(was already struggling a bit before i wrote the email at the bottom).

Then i discovered the Resource class which seems to be the answer to my 
question. Here's some pseudo code:
(warning this is only theorical)

============
Getting the depends part in the validation.xml. This will print every 
element in the depends part.

ValidatorResources vr=Resources.getValidatorResources(); //validator 
already parsed xml stuff
Forum f=vr.getForm(loc, "myform");
Field f=f.getField("myfield");
List list=f.getDependencyList();
while(item in list){
print(item);
}
============

What do you all think am i on the right approach or am i just totally wrong?

Cheers,
