I'm curious as to what change you had to make to the struts source code?
I certainly haven't had to do that, although I thought it was pretty slick to be able to extend the framework by providing your own rules...
The XML can be a little verbose, but to quote a Dire Straits song, you don't get 'your money for nothin' and chicks for free'...

I guess if you didn't want to 'clutter your XML', you could just rely on the user to provide valid inputs :)

Dear Struts World,
Hi! My name is David, and I'm writing to make a formal announcement about the validation package in the struts architecture.
Based on this article: Strut your Stuff http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1201-struts_p.html
it comes up with a very good architecture to do validation (although I18N would be nice also). Still a simple regular expresion attribute and an error message is nice. However I found that to implement it - a change to the struts source code is required!!! (This is sooo WRONG!!)
But as the struts architecture is only at a Candidate Release, I was wondering if along with the <validation:javascript> tag, the html tag library could produce something simple (like something not requiring 10 lines of xml for every single fields input?) It's totally unmaintainable.
Can anyone help me?
