OK, that worked, in that the validators ran and error messages were
written to the log, however my execute method still executed and
nothing happened on the UI with the error message tags.
I guess the larger question here is, if I'm trying to learn Struts, is
the best strategy to dig into Struts 1, which is presumably better
documented, and wait for Struts 2 to gain more of a foothold?
