You need to use the VisitorFieldValidator annotation for objects referenced
from the action. See
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.2/docs/visitorfieldvalidator-annotation.html
. The form doesn't look right nor does your annotation; why do you have
asterisks in the field name and why is type<[EMAIL PROTECTED] in
the annotation? That should be type=RequiredStringValidator. Maybe it got
screwed up posting to the list.
