I'm not sure I understand... You want to use the validation framework validators from your own code? I haven't tried that... I guess it could work. You'll need to look at the ValidationContext interface and how it is used. The ValidationFramework uses this to enable it to add the messages in the correct spot for sub-properties when using the VisitorFieldValidator.
Calling validate() on objects does not execute the validations defined in the XML files... That is done through the ValidationInterceptor, which can be applied to the Action in the xwork.xml. Check out the VisitorFieldValidator if you want to automatically have the sub-objects have validations as defined in the *-validation.xml files applied.
