PATCH: Allow validators to have access to form bean

           Summary: PATCH: Allow validators to have access to form bean
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Validator
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: turner@blackbear.com


Right now, a validator only has access to the bean that is being validated, 
especially if the bean is an indexed property.  This patch adds a new 
recognized parameter signature in the validation 
method, "org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm", which allows a validator 
method to request the DynaForm that is being validated.  This will allow cross-
field validators to be written.  In fact, I have a new 
validator, "requiredif", that depends on this, and which I will check in once 
this is accepted.
