understanding the validator stuff

I have spring-validator.jsp which contains the following:



And then in one of my JSP page, I see it being called like this:




1. What does defining the prefix "v" and "javascript" mean in the above code?

2. What does dynamicJavascript = "true" means?


So far whenever I've seen the usage of springframework tags, which are defined like this:


I've used that it's being used in the form using prefix "form" prefix, which was easy to understand. But the spring-validator stuff is something I'm trying to understand such that I can get rid of it and what I need to do to get it replaced.

The namespace that maps the tag to the tag library. It can be anything, but short namespace id are popular because you you don't have to type as much.

Caution though. Be aware of the difference between a taglib definition with a namespace and the xhtml namespace tags, which also use mapping IDs.
