I have some problems validating a form with validator framework under struts 1.3. After submitting, it forwards to "success" page even if the fields were not filled properly. (No exceptions are thrown).
Here's some of my code: STRUTS-CONFIG.XML <form-beans> ... <form-bean name="subjectForm" type="tfc.controller.formbeans.SubjectForm" /> ... </form-beans> <action-mappings> <action path="/SubjectInfoAction" type="tfc.controller.actions.SubjectInfoAction" name="subjectForm" scope="request" validate="true" input="/pages/kindex.jsp"> <exception key="errors.notFound" path="Exception" type="tfc.controller.exceptions.NotFoundException"/> <forward name="success" path="/topics.jsp"/> <forward name="studentSuccess" path="/studentTopics.jsp"/> </action> </action-mappings> VALIDATION.XML <formset> <form name="subjectForm"> <field property="subjectId" depends="required"> <arg key="parameters.subjectId"/> </field> <field property="studentId" depends="integer"> <arg key="parameters.studentId"/> </field> </form> </formset> FORM (kindex.jsp) <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:html="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" xmlns:logic="http://struts.apache.org/tags-logic" xmlns:bean="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean" version="1.2"> <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html"/> <jsp:text> <html:html> <body> <html:errors /> <html:form action="SubjectInfoAction"> <html:text styleId="studentId" property="studentId"/> <html:text styleId="subjectId" property="subjectId"/> <html:submit property="submit" value="submit"/> </html:form> </body> </html:html> </jsp:text> </jsp:root> FORMBEAN (SubjectForm.java) It extends ValidationActionForm and it has the getters and setters for the attributes and some other methods. It does not impelement reset() nor validate() ACTION (SubjectInfoAction.java) It just returns success forward. PART OF THE LOG As you can see, it does load 'validation.xml' and 'validation-rules.xml'. 03:03:15,281-INFO org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/TFC] -No Configuration for this context.

RESULT So, as I said before, the application does not crash, but it redirects to success page even if some fields' values are not correct. For example: In this case, although 'subjectId' is required, you can leave it empty.
