yes, dataType is the type/className of the object to be validated. 
Unfortunately I didn't find a nice way to automatically fetch the 
classname from the property annotation, so I passed it as validator 
argument like this:


/**
  * address
  * @var Tx_ExtName_Domain_Model_Address
  * @validate 
Tx_ExtName_Validator_GenericObjectValidator(dataType=Tx_ExtName_Domain_Model_Address)
  */
protected $address;

only using the validate annotation, see above.
