With no intentions to create yet another thread of "I dont like Validator Framework". I just wanted to know if there was any way of using validation framework to validate collections element, without writing bean.collection[0].property for the property, as it might not be possible to know the size of collection (else why would I use collection? )
To make it easier, a lot of times i have a collection of textboxes to be populated with numbers, Is there any way of validating? overriding validate() method of ActionForm, is not an option, as I am using BeanValidatorForm.
