Hi Kyle,
Thanks for this response.

If you mean the User Guide on the STRUTS site, yes I have. But it
doesn't include much of a 'discussion' on form validation - that is why
I have tried to start one up...

It's perfectly clear how a single form can be validated within STRUTS
(thanks to Wellington Lacerda for his input and clarification too).
However, your article points to implementing the 'validate' method in a
very low-level way, coding the validation logic on a per-form basis as
required. I guess my real question was whether STRUTS had taken a
higher-level abstraction of the validation required, so that form
validation can be expressed external to the Java code (eg. in a
properties file).
Wellington Lacerda ponits out that 'Inside the validation method you can
use any kind of logic you want' - is there any work on generalising this
logic?
Thanks for you time on this one :)
Dave
