I am not asking for more help with validation really. But if BeanUtil cannot set a property because the conversion to the type cannot be made, then it catches the IllegalArgumentException thrown by the PropertyEditor and calls the Action if it implements IllegalArgumentAware. With OGNL there must be some way of handling errors as well I guess? And this is the kind of "validation" I am talking about, it's a kind of pre-validation before any doValidation method is called etc. But from your description it seems as if it could be handled then, if you can just make the hook to the IllegalArgumentAware interface somehow?
