Validator now requires a form entry in validation.xml for JavaScript

           Summary: Validator now requires a form entry in validation.xml
                    for JavaScript
           Product: Struts
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Tiles framework
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: matt@raibledesigns.com


Before Struts 1.2.0 (test build), I could have the following in my JSP.

<html:javascript formName="personForm" cdata="false"
      dynamicJavascript="true" staticJavascript="false"/>
<script type="text/javascript" 
      src="<html:rewrite page="/scripts/validator.jsp"/>"></script>

All would be fine even if I didn't have a personForm definition in my
validation.xml file.  With the latest build, however, it seems I must have at
least one rule in validation.xml for this to work.  If I don't, I get the
following error message:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No form found under name personForm, locale en_US

I prefer the *old* way because then I can generate a standard JSP form (using
XDoclet) with validation stuff already included.  This bug prevents me from
doing that.  If the user doesn't define any validation rules - they get an error.  

A more appropriate thing to do might be to put a message in the comments of the
JavaScript that says:

// no rules defined for personForm
