Steps: 1) Use a regular expression to check that the url fits the pattern you are looking for (here's a good tutorial on regexes: http://www.zvon.org/other/PerlTutorial/Output/index.html). You can do this directly with the validator framework if you're using it, or later from the action. 2) Open a java.io or java.nio connection to that url to check that it is valid. Look into File and/or InputStream for more info on how to do this.
You should never put any logic in the form bean itself (it should remain a plain dumb form bean). Put this code in a library and make a call to it from your action. -- If education is too expensive, try ignorance.
