Hi George, The problem is with the "component:shiptoContactName" piece of the expression. Specifying the property prefix (eg: prop:, component:, validate:, etc.) only works at the beginning of the expression, and it is applied to the entire expression.
The thing to do in this case is: .tml: <t:textfield ... t:validate="prop:getFieldValidator(shipttoContactName)"/> .java: @InjectComponent @Property private TextField shiptoContactName; Now you've injected the component into the page class and made it a property of the class, so you can reference it directly in the property expression.
