I too agree that there cant be a perfect custom-tag solution for page
validation because backend will certainly do its own validation. Someone
told me that I should post the changes on this mailing list and convince
some committer.
So, any pointer towards finding committers for struts-dev. (Hope some
committer will listen to this).
What should be the format for posting the changes? I am thinking about using
Diff for this?
Thanks,
Tahir

I agree that it can't handle everything, but you also can't write custom
validation everywhere.
The design also allows the validation to be modified in the JSP, a
requirement of some of our customers. (we always re-validate in our
transaction services layer)
I am very much in favor of the addition of regex validation to Struts.

I'm not keen of using regex for the validation of form fields, as I find
them too
limiting. There are somethings you just can't do with regex that a general
bit of coding can handle (eg, credit card validation and good date
checking).
