? The validator lets me set rules for the input fields in my forms. So does XForms. There are already tools to generate the necessary JavaScript for that (IBM Alphaworks) or to validate the input on the Server (Chiba) and display errors.
The challenge for XForms is that there are (effectively) zero clients with XForms support already installed in the world. If IE were to support XForms natively, that would be one thing, but it doesn't ... and even Microsoft's InfoPath is not planning to support XForms. So why should anyone care?
By the way, building XForms "submit" support into Struts -- or pretty much any servlet-based environment -- would be a straightforward thing to do with a Filter.

Sorry, I don't get it. It has nothing to do with the Validator.... Any pointers appreciated!

Subject: Validator vs. XForms
What is the future of the Validator, concerning the now finalized XForms specification? As I understand it, both do about the same. Will there be a kind of merge?
