Its all down to the flavour of ActionForm you use. There a four "validation" flavours
of ActionForm shipped with Struts:
org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm
org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorActionForm
org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm
org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorActionForm
If your action forms are based on ValidatorForm or DynaValidatorForm then they use the
associated form name from struts-config.xml to look up the validation rules in the
validation configuration. If you use ValidatorActionForm or DynaValidatorActionForm
then they use the path from the struts-config.xml to look up validations.
If you are not happy with either of these mechanisms, then all you have to do is write
your own ActionForm.validate() method which uses whatever naming you want to access
validator.
>From the struts-config.xml:
<action path="/myPathName" name="myFormName" ......
</action>
In your validation.xml file:
<form name="/myPathName">
......
</form>
