Ah. That is enormously helpful. I misunderstood this line from the javadoc:
"These validators are added to the form and only executed if all form
components returned by getDependentFormComponents() have been
successfully validated before this validator runs."
and thought that it would enforce an ordering, where this validator
would be called after the dependent FormComponent validators.
Apparently the word "successfully" is germain. :)
Thank you Matej!
