Struts validator Nested properties problem!!!

["Kanuri, Chand" <ch...@landg.com>]

Hi all,
i have an action form called UserForm in which i instantiated a bean called
UserBean.
there are 5 users in total.so i instantiated UserBean 5 times in my action
form(using an arraylist).
UserBean has the following properties: name,sex,postcode
hence there are 5*3=15 properties in total.
how can i validate these properties using struts validator(using
validator-rules.xml,validation.xml and struts-config.xml).
i can validate the simple properties in my action form but how can i
validate the nested properties?
the simple properties in my form are type and code.
i am validating them as below:

i am validating like this in my validation.xml file: (validation for
required fileds)

<form-validation>
  <formset>
    <form name="userForm">
      <field property="type" 
            depends="required">
        <arg0 key="prompt.type"/>
      </field>
	<field property="code" 
            depends="required">
        <arg0 key="prompt.code"/>
      </field>

    </form>
  </formset>
</form-validation>

i am instatiating the UserBean like this in my actionForm:(the UserForm
constructor is like this)

private List users = new ArrayList(5);

public UserForm() {
		super();
		
		for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
			UserBean ub = new UserBean();
			users.add(ub);
		}
	}



can i validate the nested properties like this:

<form-validation>
  <formset>
    <form name="userForm">
      
	<field property="ub.name" 
            depends="required">
        <arg0 key="prompt.ub.name"/>
      </field>

	<field property="ub.sex" 
            depends="required">
        <arg0 key="prompt.ub.sex"/>
      </field>

<field property="ub.postcode" 
            depends="required">
        <arg0 key="prompt.ub.postcode"/>
      </field>

    </form>
  </formset>
</form-validation>


if this is correct,in this case i could validate 3 properties.does it
validateall the 15 fields (nested properties) in my form?

any ideas..your suggestions are highly appreciated.

regards and many thanks in advance.
