Class DefaultActionValidatorManager

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.DefaultActionValidatorManager
All Implemented Interfaces:
ActionValidatorManager

public class DefaultActionValidatorManager
extends Object
implements ActionValidatorManager

This is the entry point into XWork's rule-based validation framework.

Validation rules are specified in XML configuration files named className-contextName-validation.xml where className is the name of the class the configuration is for and -contextName is optional (contextName is an arbitrary key that is used to look up additional validation rules for a specific context).
