I don't think that is good approach as in validation phase model is still not updated, what you are getting is just input value from view. I wonder why you need bean instance there. If your validation depends on other component in view you can refer link @ SO and Validator for multiple fields .
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
