Barring some nasty syntax problem, it seems like the only things left are the path of your -validation.xml files and the validator type. The validator files should mirror your class package path. So in the case of your actions your -validation files should be in src/main/resources/com/xxx/webapp/action/club
The other possibility is the use of the required validator vs. the requiredstring validator. Requiredstring is used when you are trying to prevent an empty string vs a null. When the post comes in model.name= then Struts2 will fill that String with "" rather than null, so it will pass Required but fail Requiredstring. We are assuming the action method is save() or something like that.... You shouldn't have to move your actions. Sub-packages are fine.... -D On Dec 19, 2010, at 9:16 AM, Ramzi MAALEJ wrote: > Let's say name is a mandatory field.
