Dave,
Thanks for the suggestion, I changed the validator to read as:
@ManyToOne(cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE},
fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name = "STATUS")
@FieldExpressionValidator(message = "Default message",
key="validate.status", expression = "status != null")
public Status getStatus() {
return status;
}
The validation is applied, but no message is displayed. With:
@ExpressionValidator(message = "Default message", key="validate.status",
expression = "status != null")
The validation is applied and the validation message appears at the top
of my page where I have an <s:actionerrors /> tag.
Is there something else I need to do to make the
FieldExpressionValidator work?

You'd probably need a @FieldExpressionValidator in order for it to be
associated with a field, but this is just a guess.

IIRC its intent is to prevent multiple validation errors for the same
field.
