Dave,
Here's my method that does the validation:
public static boolean validateTwoFields(Object bean, ValidatorAction va,
Field
field, ActionErrors errors,
HttpServletRequest request) {
String value = ValidatorUtils.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getProperty());
String sProperty2 = field.getVarValue("secondProperty");
String value2 = ValidatorUtils.getValueAsString(bean,
sProperty2);
if (!GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull(value)) {
try {
if (!value.equals(value2)) {
errors.add(field.getKey(), new ActionMessage(
"errors.twofields", value, value2));
return false;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
errors.add(field.getKey(), new ActionMessage(
"errors.twofields", value, value2));
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
Here's the snippet from validations.xml.
<formset>
<form name="pwdForm">
<field property="pwd1"
depends="required,twofields">
<arg0 key="pwdForm.password"/>
<arg1 key="pwdForm.confirmPassword"/>
<var>
<var-name>secondProperty</var-name>
<var-value>pwd2</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
Here's the snippet from validation-rules.xml
<validator name="twofields"
classname="validators.StrutsValidator"
method="validateTwoFields"
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.twofields"/>
Here's password.jsp.
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<html:html>
<head>
</head>
<html:form action="pwdAction.do">
pwd # <html:text property="pwd1"/>
<br>
pwd # <html:text property="pwd2"/>
<p>
<html:submit>Submit</html:submit>
</html:form>
<font color="red">
<html:errors/>
</font>
</html:html>
My PWDAction.java doesn't have much. But, here it is.
public class PWDAction extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
}
Advanced thanks for your time,
Kiran

Don't know.
Unfortunately showing us an action mapping isn't enough to help, since
there's configuration, code, etc. involved.
