Using xdoclet with ValidatorActionForm

[Dimitris Mouchritsas <di...@eurodyn.com>]

Hi all,
I've got a multipage form bean to complete a registration in 3 steps. 
Validator
is not working correctly. Some fields in the first page are validated, 
some are not.
In the 3rd page none of the fields are validated. Now from what I 
understand
I need to extend ValidatorActionForm instead of ValidatorForm. But in 
the xdoclet
path I need to provide a path attribute. (btw I use a patched 1.2.3 
xdoclet to support
struts 1.3.8) If this is the path for the action then I'm in trouble 
because I have 3 seperate
actions for each step. Do I need to combine them in one?

Could you please provide an example of how to use this path attribute?

Thanks
Dimitris

Finally found the answer, when declaring the page attribute for the 
property in
xdoclet it has to be on the same declaration as in:

     * @struts.validator type="required,mask,maxlength" page="3"

and not as in:
     * @struts.validator type="required,mask,maxlength"
     * @struts.validator page="3"

The latter, even though it produced a valid validation xml it added a 
null as in:

              <field property="name"
                     page="1"
                     depends="required,mask,maxlength,null">

and this messed up the validation.
