I don't have any plans to add it into Struts at this point in time and I would be -1 in doing so in its current form for two reasons...
* It doesn't support JavaScript validation and I think there would be a barrage of questions saying "I'm using extends validator but my javascript isn't working...." * Seems to me that rather than "faking a field validation" to provide inheritance, it would be better to develop Commons Validator to support the kinds of capabilities it provides properly instead. Also if it was put into Commons Validator, then we could probably resolve the JavaScript issue as well. Commons Validator 1.2 (not yet released) has had an "inheritance" facility added. Its slightly different from this, since one form can inherit from another, whereas the extends validator can "inherit" from multiple forms - which IMO is quite powerful. I think it would be a good addition to Commons Validator, but someone needs to work out a design for implementing this kind of feature first. Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "David G.
