UICopmonentValidators for Soft Types

Does anyone know how to register a UIComponentValidator for a soft type? For example I have soft typed the Change Task to an Engineering Change Task. I want to register a validator but I only want it to be called when an Engineering Change Task is being created and NOT when a Change Task is being created. I found in the Customization Guide on page 803 that this can be done but I haven't seen an example with a soft type.

<service context="default" name="com.ptc.core.ui.validation.UIComponentValidator">
<option serviceclass="com.steelcase.enterprise.change2.validators.ECACreateWizardValidator"&lt;br"/> selector="ECACreateWizardValidatorVK"
requestor="wt.change2.WTChangeActivity2"
targetFile="codebase/service.properties"/>
</service>

The requestor attribute is supposed to be able to do this but I'm wondering if it's not working because my soft type class is not defined in actions.xml. Do I have to "duplicate" the blocks for the changeTask for my EngineeringChangeTask in actions.xml? Any thoughts?

Same syntax as OIR, like with "WCTYPE|" leading, but it's been awhile.
Suggest trying both ways.



I personally find it easier to against WTObject one of these, then setup a
properties file to eval type and then load another class for biz logic
execution.

Yes David I tried that syntax. The reason I can't put my soft type in as the requestor is because my soft type doesn't have a definition block in the actions.xml file...and it shouldn't.

Put the validator on the modeled class associated actions.xml have it run always, but react only if soft type is correct.
