Call a setter for the role (1)
(ex: formBean.setRole(req.getUserPrinicipal) in "onSave" in action.
Now your can call formBean.validate() in your action.
And... your formBean class must implement a validate method to do all your logic.
This way you can use the same formbean validation in model1, or anywhere where you need the bean.
Or a variant of yours.... is to just do (1) and then do your role thingy. That code could be usefull to others.

Hi
Has anyone used the Struts Validator with security roles?
What I would like to do validate on fields which depend on the login account detail. It doesn't matter what kind of
the credential either user id, realm, or group role but the type will be a java.lang.String. For example
role: `submitter'
check the fields `firstName', `lastName' are not null or blank
role: `reviewer'
check also the fields `firstName', `lastName' are not null or blank but also check `supervisor', `department' too.
My first thought would be to subclass the `FieldChecks' class (1.1 beta3) to add an extra parameter `role', but then how
do I get the "role" into the action form bean.
Thoughts?
