Can you make sure that class file of ValidationUtil resides in the classpath
of your application ...
It usually bundled as jar file.

OK I was more wondering what you have configured for the
ValidatorPlugIn - should be a <plug-in> element in your struts config.
Also what you say about versions is confusing - can you be explicit
about the Struts version and the Commons Validator version you are
using. For example "the config at 1.1.dtd" doesn't tell me whether
you're referring to the Struts dtd or the Commons Valdiator dtd?
