Please disregard my previous email. IT WORKS JUST FINE !!! I was getting problem during loading because my validation.xml was not right. I just did exactly what Niall mentioned in his mail and its work just fine.

Not sure if I understand what the issue is. In validator terms there is no requirement that what you define in a <form> element be anything other than a regular java bean. So as I understand it you have an ActionForm which has a property for the collection of PERSON objects - say called "people", with appropriate getPeople() / setPeople() methods <form name="FooForm"> <field property="people" depends="extends"> <var><var-name>extends<var-name><var-value>PERSON<var-value></var> <arg0 key="lineNumber"> </field> </form> <form name="PERSON"> <field property="ssn" depends="required"> <arg0 key="SSN" resource="false"> <msg name="required" key="ssn.errors.required"> </field> </form> To be honest I'm confused by you saying "how to do it with out actually extending from any other form" - since I'm not sure if you're thinking that your "PERSON" java object has to inherit from an ActionForm (which it doesn't in this scenario) or whether you just don't want your validation config to "extend" - but that would make no sense with an "extends" validator. Best thing is - why don't you give it a try and see if it meets your needs.
