Hi Laurie Thanks for the reply. I finally figured it out. Removing the visitorFields pattern fixed the problem.
I'm guessing my combination of annotations is incorrect. So I had.... CLASS LEVEL ----------- @Validation Execute() method: ------------------------------------ @Validations(visitorFields = { @VisitorFieldValidator(message = "Default message", fieldName = "surname", appendPrefix = false) }) setSurname() method: ------------------------------------ @RequiredStringValidator(message="Validation error", key="validate.surname") I'm guessing that I'm not supposed to use the visitorFields annotation with the others. Was giving me some really strange behaviour. Will hunt for some better examples...

If you do have the setter in your action and you're getting this, do you have any action errors/messages showing up when you get returned to the input page?
