Re: validator framework Help needed

[Pedro Emanuel de Castro Faria Salgado <pe...@junifeup.pt>]

  This is way beyond my skills (i ve been working w struts just for
week... and done simple validations... this is more customized
validation)... i can check it up on some book or documentation that i 
have if nobody else gives you an answer.

------------
Now I am using the validator framework, for client side validation, I
probably cant have field based validation,  coz  I have to validate
certain indexed fields, conditionally. So I did it the following way(I
have pasted the code below).

It working  fine but I wanna know ..
    > if this is the right way to use it.
    > by using it this way how can i pick up messages from
ApplicationResources.properties

Thanks & regards,
Prasenjit.
