It can be done like that as well, but, your first attempt should be better. The "alias" part is the action name, lets say you have an action like this:
<package name="survey" namespace="/survey" extends="struts-default"> <action name="save" class="survey.SurveyAction" method="save"> <result>/survey/survey-results.jsp</result> <result name="input">/survey/survey.jsp</result> </action> </package> you would need to name the validation file "SurveyAction-save-validation.xml", and this file *has* to be in the classpath of the application under "survey". Make sure that the validation file is landing next to the action that it is supposed to validate, in the web app classes dir. musachy On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 3:10 PM, ben_979 <benninesevenn...@yahoo.ca> wrote: > > So it's done strictly by exclusion?
