Here are a couple of things to check: * Do you have both the validation.xml and validator-rules.xml files in your WEB-INF directory? * How have you defined your ActionForm? It needs to be either a (subclass of) ValidatorForm or DynaValidatorForm. * Have you tried using session scope for the action?
