You can define you own validator if you like:
Say you define this in validation.xml (meaning you want to validate attributeA by
myRequried() method)
<formset>
<form name="yourForm">
<field property="attributeA" depends="myRequried">
<arg0 key="yourForm.attributeA"/>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
In your validator-rules.xml you define:
<validator name="myRequired"
classname="webcontext.com.Validator" // change this to your own Validator
class
method="validateMyRequried"
methodParams="java.lang.Object,
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
msg="errors.myRequired">
</validator>
Now you should in your Validator.java define/code validateMyRequried() method and pass
in (java.lang.Object,
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest),
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: validator.xml usage
that is true....if u want to use server side validation you can specify that in the
struts-config.html
something like this
<action path="/Action"
name="FormToBeValidated"
validate="true" <----------- set true here
parameter="function"
input="somepage.jsp" <--- goes to this page if validation fails
/>
if you want to use javascript too....with the same setup (validation.xml,
validator-rules.xml) u can add the <html:javascript/> tag to your jsp and it will show
u the errors....there are also <html:messages /> , u can check out the info at
husted.com/struts site
hope this helps

The validation.xml you put the rules for client and server validation. The
