Class ConfluenceActionValidatorManager

java.lang.Object

com.atlassian.confluence.xwork.ConfluenceActionValidatorManager

public class ConfluenceActionValidatorManager
extends Object

Copy of the XWork ActionValidatorManager that clears the context of validators before it caches them. Since validator contexts were composed of actions, this was causing action instances to end up in the cache where they would hang around forever holding onto references to the entire Spring context.

This class makes use of a delegating validationContext. This is to prevent race conditions. It delegates to a threadlocal to ensure that any validation messages are set on the appropriate context and any information is retrieved from the correct context. As the context contains rather large (in Mb) objects, it is absolutely essential that it is set to null when the method returns.
