Looking at the original post, where you showed your struts-config.xml and
validation.xml - you're using the wrong flavour of Dyna form...
1) DynaValidatorActionForm validates according to the Action Mapping's path
So in your validation.xml you would have three forms as follows...
<form-validation>
<formset>
<form name="/reg/step1">
....
</form>
<form name="/reg/step2">
</form>
<form name="/reg/step3">
</form>
2) DynaValidatorForm validates according to the Action Mapping's form name.
So in your validation.xml you would have one form (as you do)....
<form-validation>
<formset>
<form name="registrationForm">
....
</form>
