A couple of things - first of all read-up on struts server-side validation - there are many references on the web on how to do this, so even if a user turns off Javascript, things will get caught on the server side validation.
Secondly, I have found that having a single entry box where somebody would enter a free text field where they would have to enter a / or a - will lead to even more problems in validation. Therefore, create 3 drop down boxes, one for month, one for day and one for year, then, when somebody clicks "ok", or "proceed", do a struts javascript validation on only one of the fields (specify let's say month in validation.xml), and then during that javascript or server-side validation, you combine the three fields (month, day and year) to validate them all together as a single date.
