[PATCH] Struts masks errors when required field is missing

Hi,

  We have found the a wee problem with the struts validator and now 
validator-commons. Problem is that when you have a required field 
missing, and an error in another field, *all* errors are reported as 
"Required field missing", masking other errors.

  To solve this, a wee patch. Unfortunately some of the tabbing changed, 
so Diff made the 7 or 8 lines of code into a 12Kb Diff file.

  The issue is that the validator drops out when a required field is 
missing. This patch changes it so the validation status of each field is 
stored and we only drop out if all fail.

  Cheers, James
