Mike,
The field-metadata tag gets it's data from the list of fields that the
<s:form> knows of up to that point. If it doesn't have an enclosing
<s:form> it won't work at all.
It sounds like you are using a tag file. Their operation is very
different. I think what you are trying to do would work in an include file.
BTW, how are you using the metadata tag? Are you using the
stripes.jquery.validation.js file or did you roll your own? I haven't
gotten much feedback at all.

On a whim, I tried making a little tag in a toy application. The point
of the tag was to factor out a small but ugly blob of code involving
the field-metadata tag. Basically I wanted to package up the
boilerplate javascript I want to call.
Well the tag "worked" in that Resin found it and used it, but the
field-metadata tag was confused because it didn't know the action
bean. I didn't play with it much after that but my guess was that the
tag is processed kind-of like a jsp:include is processed - it's like a
separate page. Therefore, the contextual stripes:form object is
nowhere to be found.
For this particular situation is no big deal, but I'm wondering what
the story might be should it become attractive to package up some
common patterns in tags, when those patterns involve stuff inside
forms. I'm guessing that other form-related tags might get kind-of
nervous outside of forms too. Is there a commonly-used trick to make
that doable?
