[TYPO3-mvc] Problems with validation non-domain objects

[Michael Knoll]

Just to make sure, that I have no errors in the validator class, I put 
the "formObject" into the "Classes/Domain/Model" directory. Now 
everything works fine.

But even, if I create a new directory inside "Model" like 
"Classes/Domain/Model/FormObject", I cannot use a validator class to 
validate the content of my object.

Is there any way to register validators for classes in subdirectories of 
the "Classes/Domain/Model" directory or in subdirs of this directory?

Thanks a lot!

Michael
