> I just put together a class that uses the Validator from within a
> LookupDispatchAction. The class could be easily included into the Struts
> distribution. It is very useful to have the validation available to call
> from within the DispatchAction because different methods require different
> validation. Anyways, I have heard others speak of Action based validation
> (Craig included). This is not as useful in regular actions because the
> mapping allows for the flexibility. But for those of us who use the
> Dispatch... this type of validation is uesful. The code should be ready to
> drop in with no changes.
> FYI - The class extends DispatchAction and uses the same code as the
> LookupDispatchAction. I took the validation code from the
> ValidatorActionForm and included it in the ValidatorLookupDispatchAction
> class with some minor changes.
> I also, abstracted the method lookup process into a method 
> called "lookupMethod". This allows for the method name to be retrieved from 
> within the extended ValidatorLookupDispatchAction class for other purposes or 
> custom configurations that might be used.
> Basically, the key that is looked up in the validation.xml form name is the
> ActionMapping url plus a dot method name. (.i.e. /myAction.do.edit <- edit
> is the method name).
