Using DispatchAction class with Struts Validator
Got a problem thats been bugging me for a while:
I'm using an action class that extends DispatchAction class. The methods in
this class use the same ActionForm class (DynaValidatorActionForm). However,
the validation requirments for each method in the dispatch class are
different.
I understand that if I use the DynaValidatorActionForm, I can map the action
URI to the name property in the validation.xml file. Is it possible to map
the exact method in my dispacth to the validation.xml file?
For example, if my DispatchAction class URI path mapping is: "/dispatch", and
I have a method named "update1" and "update2" within the dispatch class, can I do this in
my validation.xml file?:
<formset>
<form name="/dispatch.do.update1">
......do special validation here
</form>
<form name="/dispatch.do.update2">
......do special validation here
</form>
</formset>
Many thanks for your help!

Indeed, each dispatch method corresponds to a different jsp page. However,
the "page" attribute is designed for building up an ActionForm from many
different pages in wizard like way. I'm looking only to perform a specific
type of validation on a subset of my ActionForm for each dispatch method.
The only other solution I know of is to break up my DispatchAction to
seperate Actions and use seprate ActionForms for each, not something I want
to do unless absolutely necessary!

Do you have corresponding pages for each method? Would the "page" attribute
enable you to only validate fields relevant to the corresponding dispatch
method? Or have I missed your question.
