Validator error what does this mean?

[Hehl, Thomas]

Hey!

I'm still pretty new to struts and am taking over an app from a previous
developer. I have added some validation and got the following error:

ValidWhen Error for field ' additionalInfo' - line 1:18: unexpected token: )


Here is the code from Validator-defaults.xml

<form name="DisqualForm">               
        <field property="email" depends="required, email">
                <arg0 key="eJuror.global.label.from"/>
        </field>                
        <field property="additionalInfo" depends="validwhen">
      <arg0 key="ejuror.global.label.additionalInfo"/>
        <var>
          <var-name>test</var-name>
          <var-value>((remarksRequired) or (*this* != null))</var-value>
        </var>
    </field>
</form>

And DisqualForm (Aliased):
