I had a similar problem here. I used formdef to define the page attribute and didn't specify the type. When the cast was made inside of validator, it was unable to cast the value to an Integer. The field was a string containing the page number. Couldn't it use Integer.valueOf?

The validator was being called but because of problems with the page attribute in the form the validator appears to have been receiving a page value of zero and hence not validating the items on pages 1 or two because neither 1 nor 2 are less that or equal to zero! When I did get the validator to be called it still wasn't working right but I got that fixed too. Anyhow, I did up a blog post about it which can be found here: http://www.bartbusschots.ie/blog/?p=262 If people thing an edited version of this would be a useful addition to the Wiki work away, just credit me or link to the original blog post and I'll be more than happy.
