here is what I have inside my struts, I guess I am not sure what I must do
inside of the struts config for the validation, but I am using version 1.0 with
the config at 1.1.dtd, I inherited this system and I really know very little
about struts, thank you for your help...

I can't see anything wrong with what you have here. Can you show us
how you have configured Struts to pick up your custom validation rules
and also say what version of Struts and what version of Commons
Validator you are using
