password fields are not validated using javscript (lengths)

In thinking about this Option 1 and option 2
they are not exclusive, and can co exist.

Currently Struts 1.1 users --are-- revealing their
min/max lengths for all fields types including
passwords to hackers. So a new bug report might need to be
filed to fix this. Again this fix would probably require
modifying the DTD for the validator to say drop the server
side checks, for all or some of the rules, and MOST importantly
don't generate the accompaning javascript.


A second alternative would be to define a new rule, to prevent
from modifying the DTD, which is a hack.

Either approach would solve needs of both camps, since neither needs
were are being met by Struts 1.1.

However, I believe the best option is for users not to use the
min/max length rules for passwords to start with and keep that
logic in the Business logic.

This would keep the javascript tag from becomming overly complicated.
