Struts validator and ActionMapping question.

[philoso]

Hi.
Errr... sort of new-b question.

The validator requires a signiture of
methodParams="java.lang.Object,
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessages,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"


How can i reach actionMapping from these fields?

Thanks.

you'll have to be more specific.
don't know what you mean by "reach actionmapping from these...".

What do you need the ActionMapping for? If you truly can't get there from
here, there's probably a reason. Struts is very well designed and enforces
separation.

A Validator plugin method should just examine what it's given and answer
true or false.

I have seen struts enforce nothing but chaos so it is all in howmyou use it.
In fact, next to a legendary monster of a Cobol program that no one could
ever figure out and those who tried went certifiably insane, the most
horrific mishmash of redundant code and 40 page classes came in a fully
stuts functional application. Struts adds a layer of complication which
Java doesn't always need. I think there are some legitimate uses to struts
and if I can pull my presentation layer out and stick in a new one with a
new struts config file, then I'll be impressed.
