This passage is straight from the struts javadoc
The key passed into the validator is the action element's 'name' attribute
from the struts-config.xml which should match the form element's name
attribute in the validation.xml
Take a peek at how to configure struts-config.xml at
http://www.reumann.net/do/struts/lesson3/step4
which details the form bean name
type (with the fully qualified package name)
and the column form-property
Keep me apprised,
Martin
