The Validator framework (commons-validator) comes with the struts distribution.
To install it you will need: jakarta-oro, commons-beanutils, commons-logging, commons-collections, commons-digester. Put these files (.jar) on your WEB-INF/lib (if you already installed struts it will only be missing the jakarta-oro.jar and commons-validator.jar). Configure your validation-rules.xml , validation.xml (better have an example to start with... And download the dtds of these files... You may need them.) and configure your struts-config.xml (the one had you seemed ok). Place the dtd files on a webapp directory (for example: /WEB-INF/dtd). Change the validation-rules.xml and validation.xml DOCTYPE element (in case you are developing without an internet connection, at the server startup it tries to validate the 2 files - tries to retrive http://jakarta.apache.org.../file.dtd - if the container doesn�t find these files an error occurs )... Example: for validation.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE form-validation SYSTEM "/Library/Tomcat/Home/webapps/mywebapp/WEB-INF/dtds/validation_1_1.dtd"> <form-validation> ... </form-validation> You also have to include some properties on your webapp message resources: errors.required={0} is required. errors.minlength={0} can not be less than {1} characters. errors.maxlength={0} can not be greater than {1} characters. errors.invalid={0} is invalid. errors.byte={0} must be a byte. errors.short={0} must be a short. errors.integer={0} must be an integer. errors.long={0} must be a long. errors.float={0} must be a float. errors.double={0} must be a double. errors.date={0} is not a date. errors.range={0} is not in the range {1} through {2}. errors.creditcard={0} is an invalid credit card number. errors.email={0} is an invalid e-mail address. These were all the steps I had to make...
