Hi Ian, I had looked into visitor validator earlier and had misunderstood it and thought the top level model object had to be given for using visitor validator but guess not. I looked it up more deeply and yes I am able to remove the duplication of validation almost fully. An xml still need to be created for each scenario but still the validation for a field resides in a single file and so in case future we have to modify it it needs to be done only at one location.
But still I feel the ability to include one file within another would be a welcome addition to validation in struts2. Thanks for making me lookup visitor validator again!
