In your example below, you need to call super.validate(...) in the
overridden validate method so that the validate method in ValidatorForm is
called. The validate method in ValidatorForm is the one that does the form
validation based on validation.xml and validator-rules.xml.
Here is an example of how you could add your own errors to the errors
returned by Struts validation:
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {
ActionErrors errors = super.validate(mapping, request);
// Do some custom processing and add errors to the "errors" variable
return errors;
}
