Visitor field validation with dynamic context

[aniruddha <an...@tavant.com>]

Hi,
I am using struts2 for my application. 

While validating a User say in User-validation.xml, I want to use the
visitor field validation in the following way.

    <field name="companyInformation">
        <field-validator type="visitor">
            &lt;param name="appendPrefix">true&lt;/param>
            &lt;param name="context">someContext&lt;/param>
            <message></message>
        </field-validator>
    </field>

In the snippet above is there a way to define the someContext dynamically
(from my Action class)????

If you want more detail of a use case similar to mine i have created an
example below. 

Suppose i have a class called User which has a field called inHouseUser and
a field called companyInformation of type CompanyInformation. If the user is
not an inhouse user only then i wish to validate certail fields of the
companyInformation, not otherwise.

I have created the class called User as:

public class User {
       
        private boolean inHouseUser;
       
        private CompanyInformation companyInformation;

        public CompanyInformation getCompanyInformation() {
                return companyInformation;
        }

        public void setCompanyInformation(CompanyInformation
companyInformation) {
                this.companyInformation = companyInformation;
        }

        public boolean isInHouseUser() {
                return inHouseUser;
        }

        public void setInHouseUser(boolean inHouseUser) {
                this.inHouseUser = inHouseUser;
        }
       
}


In the validation snippet is there a way to define the someContext
dynamically, say by using the prepare method based on the value of the field
inHouseUser. Let us assume that i have only one method in my action class
(execute) which is used irrespective of the User being an inHouse User or an
external User.
