OK, figured it out (if anyone is interested).
After digging around in the DynaValidatorActionForm source a little, I tried
the following:
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request)
{
ServletContext context = getServlet().getServletContext();
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
String submitAction = (String) get("submitAction");
if ((submitAction.equalsIgnoreCase("continue")) ||
(submitAction.equalsIgnoreCase("submit")))
{
Validator validator =
StrutsValidatorUtil.initValidator(mapping.getPath(), this, context, request,
errors, page);
try
{
validatorResults = validator.validate();
}
catch(ValidatorException ve)
{}
}
return errors;
}
Figured if the default method could call Validator, so could I. Works like
a charm.
