I think that as long as you have the "depends" attribute for the field set to "mask", but not "required", and your mask allows empty strings, you should be set to go. Otherwise, you'll probably have to use the "requiredif" dependency.

Will it be possible to send an example on how to configure it in the validation.xml?

Well, I'm not exactly an expert on validator, but I just figured out the
answer to this question myself a couple days ago.  I'm using Struts, and
Struts valdiation uses commons validator.  Struts has its own plugin
validators, which explicitly check GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull() on the
field, and ignore the field if true.

I have followed the pattern in my plugin validators.

Using Commons-Validator, is it possible to validate a field only if it exists on the 
form.
For example, I have a situation in which a "text" field gets generated only if a certain 
condition is true. What I want to do is, I want to check that if this field exists then, validate that it 
is numeric against a "mask" which is defined in validation.xml.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance
Radhika
