[WW-2292] Validation annotations v. ActionSupport

[Dave Newton <ne...@yahoo.com>]

https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2292

I'm assuming what's happening is that ActionSupport's
validation is enough to use field validator
annotations even if the action doesn't have an
explicit @Validation() annotation (or something else
that leads to the same result).

WW-2292 basically asks if a lack of @Validation()
should mean no validation based on annotations even if
the class extends ActionSupport.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Dave

I would say that the behavior described is the expected behavior.

AFAIK, the @Validation() annotation is just a bit of red-tape, and if
we didn't need it, it wouldn't be there at all. Essentially, the
@Validation is inherited alongwith the validations. There's another
semantic, @SkipValidation, that is intended to suppress inherited
validations. (Though, it may still not work quite right.)
