Actually, they are both arg1 for their respective validators... See the docs: http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/dev_validator.html
minlength - validate input data isn't less than a specified minimum length. Requires a minlength variable. <field property="name" depends="required,minlength"> <arg0 key="customer.name"/> <arg1 name="minlength" key="${var:minlength}" resource="false"/> <var><var-name>minlength</var-name><var-value>3</var-value></var> </field> maxlength - validate input data doesn't exceed a specified maximum length. Requires a maxlength variable. <field property="name" depends="required,maxlength"> <arg0 key="customer.name"/> <arg1 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/> <var><var-name>maxlength</var-name><var-value>30</var-value></var> </field> Regards, David P.S.
