Map-backed Forms and Struts Validator
Read through the various Struts validator docs and the map-backed form faq but didn't see this. James Turner's "Indexed Properties and Validation" presentation (http://www.strutskickstart.com/IndexedPropertiesandValidation.ppt) came close, but still not explicit enough for me to figure out. :(
Struts 1.1. Uses Commons Validator 1.0.2.
Is it possible to use the Struts validator to validate beans stored in a map-backed form? If so, does anyone have an example at-hand to send me?
Thanks,
Derek Richardson

Hi Derek,
from the ppt doc, it looks like validWhen is using a syntax that is
designed for checking indexed properties. I haven't used it though.
I assume that it would handle nested beans as well, in accordance with
the rest of the action form functionality. But again, I don't know.
Also it says you can't use validWhen until you upgrade to struts 1.2 or
a nightly build.
I admit, it doesn't look hopeful. Have you tried a simple test case
using the syntax like in the ppt doc?
