I have a lot of experience using validation. I am of the opinion that if
possible validation should be done client-side using javascript. Is there a
way to implement this by extending Struts? If so, I would be very
interested in helping. Currently, I am working on expanding Struts Custom
Tag Library. I've added Pattern, IsRequired, and errorMessage to
Struts-html.tld and modified the Struts source files to accomodate for this.
It uses pattern because I am using Perl5 regular expressions to send the
validation parameterss to the Form bean.
