No I had not heard about the sample app. I looked again on the main Struts page and in the validator section there are 3 resources: 1) A validating Two fields match by matt raible (by the way - IMHO this method /or a different implementation which does the same thing, would be VERY helpful to be a part of the main validator package as it is such a common requirement) 2)DynaForms and the Validator - a PDF document 3) Validating user input - a PDF document Am I missing the link? Is it part of the struts bundle? I think a link from the main validator page would be helpful as this is where I went to initially find out how to use the validator. >requiredif is in 1.1.
