Annotation Type CustomValidation

@Documented @Inherited @Target(FIELD) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface CustomValidation

Defines a single value form field (whether on a Struts Action or model of ModelDriven Struts Action) to be validated using a client supplied validator and error message to display if this fails. The custom validator must implementNonConversionValidator, preferably extending AbstractCustomNonConversionValidatorSupport, and have a default public constructor.

By default, messages are added to the actionErrors list but this can be overridden by messageType:

Message Types
ERROR Message added to Action level error messages. Default.
FIELD Message added to field error messages using same name as field.
MESSAGE Message added to Action level info messages.
WARNING Message added to Action level warning messages.
