Ah! Now I understand ... Looks like I will be changing a few things in this project ... Thanks for your help!
-----Original Message----- From: Dave Newton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 14 July 2008 10:22 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: struts2 validation If you don't have an action property named "fieldname" then not only will validation not work but neither will normal property copying (from form to action). If, for example, you have a MyForm named "form", and has an appropriate getter/setter, its form element would look like this: <s:textfield name="form.fieldName"/> If you're handling validation programmatically (via the Validateable interface and the action's validate() method) you'd then validate against the MyForm instance, for example: public void validate() { if (StringUtils.isBlank(this.form.getFieldName())) { ... } ... } It sort of seems like you're implementing a bit of ModelDriven, but manually--not a problem, but seems a bit duplicative.
