Hi Andreas,
i think the best way is to write your own
validate() method in your action form. There you
can easily check the value of the userAction attribute
and depending on that the other attributes.
example:
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request) {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if (getName().length() < 1) {
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new
ActionError("form.error.name.required"));
}
return errors;
}
HTH
