> Generally validator doesn't support validation of nested beans/forms. Current
> IndexedListProperty implementation allows it only for one nested bean, it is not
> sufficient for complex forms/beans (many nested levels), it is rather workaround
> than full implementation. It also doesn't correspond to Struts nested tag (and
> validator is mainly used by Struts).
> Patch is included, it is based on latest validator1.2.0 svn.
> Form tag can now include nested tag as (it is in dtd_1.2.1):

>      Defines the nested beans to be validated. Two way of nested beans are
> possible: 
>      simple - accessed by property and 
>      'indexed'-  accessed by indexed property.
> 	 Nested validation supports any level of nested beans. The idea and usage 
> 	 is similar to nested tag in Struts taglib.
>      The nested element accepts these  attributes:
>      property        The property on the JavaBean corresponding to this
>                      nested element.
>      indexedListProperty
>                      The "indexedListProperty" is the method name that will
>                      return an array or a Collection used to retrieve the
>                      list and then loop through the list performing the
>                      validations on the bean.
>      type        The type/name of the nested bean which will be validated.
> 					The validation rules  are described as standard form tag with the same name
> as specified for type.
>      One and exactly one of property and indexedListProperty can be specified
> exclusively.

>    </formset>   
> </form-validation>
> There is test included (NestedTest.java), see there NestedTest-config.xml and
> how to use nested tag.
> Currently I tested it in our STRUTS project, it works correctly for 2 level
> nested beans.
> Please give me any feedback, reports, bugs, etc. I hope that there is a chance
> to have it merged in the source base.
