In Xwork, Can't -validation.xml be placed somewhere else than in the same package as the corresponding Action class

Question

Hi All, I m working for service side POJO validation using xwork. I am having an action say ValidationAction.java and i have a corresponding xml file named ValidationAction-validation.xml having validation rules on fields.

As per specification and wherever i cud find,i have come to know that this xml file should be kept in the same package as the ValidationAction.java file. But since i do have many java files to go through validations and hence many corresponding xml files, i dont want to put them together in the same package. I want to have different folder/package for the xml files.

Is there any way out for this ??

Thanks and regards
