That validate="true" in the form field only serves to place a required asterisk next to your field's label.
First, you will want to ensure you are not using a simple theme for the form tag. Next, you will want to use an <sx:head> tag in your page's head tags Finally, you will need to have validation xml files defining your Validation rules for the action (and optionally, method) being called by the struts framework.

We would like our form fields to be validated both on the client and server side. If i have "VALIDATE = TRUE" in the form field will the validation happen only on client side? For some reason if the client side validation does not happen will struts do the validation on the server side for the same field using the same XML configuration files?
