Jen, DynaValidatorForm ALREADY has a page field so leave it out:
http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/validator/DynaValidatorForm.h tml As for your validation not working with "pg" that's because the validator uses the field name "page" to figure out which validations to test in multi-page validations. Additionally, WHY are you requiring a page field in your formset? It should be a hidden variable out of the view of the user so there is no need to validate it. Without it, the plugIn should assume page=0 and do the most basic of validations in your formset.

I have changed the property from 'page' to 'pg'. The ClassCastException problem is gone. However, the validation.xml that I put in the AppName/WEB-INF is not doing anything. In my action mapping (struts-config.xml), I did set validate="true" and in my validation.xml, I have "required" set for the depends attribute for every single text field. depends="required" I intentionally left every field in those forms blank and submit forms. But, the Struts did not give me any warning about that I leave text fields blank. --- Matt Bathje <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Caroline Jen wrote: > > > Do not understand the 'HTTP Status 500 - > > java.lang.ClassCastException > > > org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm.validate(DynaValidatorForm.jav a:141)' > > > > > > 1.
