custom validator stopped working

[Mark Shifman]

I have a very simple custom validator that checks if a select list has 1 
or more selections.
when I upgraded to struts 1.2.6 it stopped working.  I have done all the 
things in

http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsUpgradeNotes11to124 ie change the 
validator dtd

I also tried using the most recent version of the validator jar 1.1.4.
I even created a validator that always returns false
   public static boolean validateRequiredMultilist(  Object bean,  
ValidatorAction va,   Field field,      ActionErrors errors,        
HttpServletRequest request) {
   return false;
}

It didn't seem to do anything but empty selections got by as valid.
My validator-rule-custom.xml contains the entry
       <validator name="requiredmultilist"
           classname="org.ycmi.validators.MultilistValidator"
           method="validateRequiredMultilist"
           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.multilist">
       </validator>
The builtins seem to be working fine.
I must be missing something very fundamental/simple.
Any help would be appreciated.
