  +    <p>
  +    Configuring the Validator to perform form validation is easy.<br/>
  +    <ol>
  +     <li>The ActionForm bean must extend ValidatorForm</li>
  +     <li>The form's JSP must include the <a 
href="struts-html.html">&lt;html:javascript&gt;</a> tag for client side 
validation.</li>
  +     <li>You must define the validation rules in an xml file like this:<br/>
  +    <pre>
  +         &lt;form-validation>
  +                     &lt;formset>               
  +                             &lt;form name="logonForm">
  +                             &lt;field property="username" depends="required">
  +                                     &lt;msg name="required" key="error.username"/>
  +                             &lt;/field>    
  +                     &lt;/form>        
  +                     &lt;/formset>   
  +             &lt;/form-validation>
  +    </pre>
  +    <br/>
  +    The msg element points to the message resource key to use when generating the 
error message.
  +    </li>
  +    <li>Lastly, you must enable the ValidatorPlugin in the struts-config.xml file 
like this:<br/>
  +     <pre>
  +    &lt;plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
  +     &lt;set-property property="pathnames" value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml, 
/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
  +     &lt;/plug-in>
  +     </pre>
  +    </li>
  +    </ol>
  +    </p>
