Subclass is validated...

[radone]

I have classes Country <-1---------*- Town

public class Country extends BaseObject implements Serializable {
	protected String code;
	protected String name;
    // getters and setters
}

and

public class Town extends BaseObject implements Serializable {
	protected String postalCode;
	protected String name;
	protected Country country;
    // getters and setters
}

All items of both classes are required. When I try to insert new item Town with parameters e.g.:
[quotePseudocode: ]Town ['10010','New York', ''US''][/quote]

it is validated even whole class Country - so error is:

Country name is requred field.

If I turn off validating the item Town is inserted properly.

Thanks in advance

Too little info! but let me guess, you're using a Validator and don't want subclasses of your form to be validated? right? if so, Validator.supports() is what you want:

http://www.springframework.org/docs/...Validator.html

MyValidtor implments Validtor {
supports(Class c) {
if (c.getName().equals("Country")) return true; else return false;
}

}

you know you don't want instanceof 'cas it will return true for subclasses; the problem you're tyring to solve.
