I wasn't proposing changing the validation model at all - but with the advent of Chain we could deprecate the validate(mapping, request) method in favour of a validate(Context) method in ActionForm. This would provide more flexibility and cause less confusion because the method name has stayed the same. I would also suggest that the new validate method shouldn't return anything, with the ActionForm being responsible for sticking the messages in the Context. That way if/when thing move to commons resources we won't face the same problem again.
This is probably better. I agree with you and Eddie that we may as well return boolean as a courtesy.
