I think you are confused. You still need to declare your <form-bean> in struts-config.xml using 'type='org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm'. In your validation.xml the <form-set>....</form-set> is used by validator to identify the properties from your <form-bean> so that validator will know what kind of validation to perform. Struts, as far as I know, will NOT instantiate anythiing simply by being in the validation.xml file.....
