There is a convince validator for types that uses the backing type errors to
generate validation errors. I use it to ensure that letters aren't entered in
my number fields.
The annotation is ConversionErrorFieldValidator
For example:
@ConversionErrorFieldValidator(message="Please enter only numerical values")
public void setHours(float hours) {
this.hours = hours;
}
Be warned though, it works for me but may be a little buggy. See
https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2331 and
https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2112

You may want to read on
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/type-conversion.html
The last topic "Type Conversion Error Handling".
I had the same problem. It turns out that there's no "validation"
concept of a "type" (similar to Struts1"), however Struts 2 will give
you control over type conversion problems (similar approach, but with
more control).
So, you really don't have to do much (other than formatting the message
if the default doesn't suit your needs)
