RE: Maverick with validation framwork

My system is built using Jakarta Validator.  Looks like a similar 
capability to FormProc.  What I did was key off the Controller name.  I 
pass that name to the validating system, which then extracts from a xml 
file the restrictions on this fom, such as a required field.  It then calls 
certain "validators", which are really short java methods which do the 
actual work.  These validators, should they find an error, populate 
Maverick's error map with actual text also pulled from the xml 
file.  Later, when maverick redisplays the page, each field with an error 
will have the error text displayed beside it.

Hope this gives you another perspective on a similar but different approach 
!  Good luck,
Dan
