> Validator is crap; don't waste your time.

Don't mind Mark, he's perpetually waking up on the wrong side of the bed. 
Validator is actually one of the coolest features of Struts and combined
with DyanActionForms reduces form coding time significantly.  I don't
think Mark ever got it working but it really doesn't take long to set it
up and start playing with it.
