In some ways, yes, but it also severely limits what the validation framework can check. For instance, you can immediately not use the VisitorFieldValidator to apply your business objects validations to your populated business object (including ones loaded from the session). You also won't have type converted values, so you can't check things like int ranges or date ranges. Any other object types which use type conversion to create something other than a string cannot be validated. Perhaps a different tack would work... Maybe if it was possible to have MyAction-parameter-validation.xml which apply validations, and we pushed the params onto the stack before we validate, and have a different interceptor which can call the validation framework with the "parameters" context...
