Thanks Niall, That was very helpful. I have another issue with my validator.xml. Based on my investigation, I have configured everything correctly. But there must be something wrong with this basic and barebone validator.xml file, because even if I change the form name to something bogus, I don't get any sort of errors. So I think for some reason, my form name in struts-config doesn't map to the form name in validation.xml. Note: - I'm using tiles. Do I need to do anything in my tiles-defs.xml. - Also, I'm using Struts 1.1 (although even though I'm using 1.1 I needed to add the commons-validator.jar to my classpath) Here is my entire validation.xml: <!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_0.dtd";> <form-validation> <formset> <form name="callingCardDeactivateForm"> <field property="callingCard.deactivateDate" depends="required"> <arg0 key="Field is Required for Date!" resource="false"/> </field> <field property="callingCard.comments" depends="required"> <arg0 key="Field is Required for Comments!" resource="false"/> </field> </form> </formset> /form-validation> From my struts-config.xml <action path="/request/callingcard/callingCardDeactivate" type="com.raytheon.its.action.request.callingcard.SubmitCallingCardDeactivateAction" name="callingCardDeactivateForm" scope="request" validate="true" input="/WEB-INF/pages/request/callingcard/deactivateCallingCardRequest.jsp"> <forward name="requestEntryPage" path="callingCardDeactivate" /> </action>
