## Class DefaultActionValidatorManager

- java.lang.Object
- - 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).
