ValidatorActionForm uses the path to find the corresponding validation form rules. So for your "/security/login" action you need to name the form in validation.xml to "security/login" instead of "login".
If you use ValidatorForm instead it uses the form name to find the corresponding validation form rules. So for your "/security/login" action you need to name the form in validation.xml to "security.login" instead of "login". Both ValidatorForm and ValidatorActionForm have validate() method which invokes the Validator framework. If you override these methods, then it won't do any server side validation, unless you call super.validate().
