Yes. I have some simple validations like:
<field property="newEmailAddress"
depends="email" >
<arg0 key="label.additional.email"/>
</field>
and
<field property="date"
depends="required,date">
<arg0 key="label.contact.date"/>
<var>
<var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name>
<var-value>MM/dd/yyyy</var-value>
</var>
</field>
on the same form that are working fine.

Which? Literal value, or should I be specifying a key to something in
.properties? The example was checking something equal to "true" so I wasn't
sure.
In any event... I actually need !action.startsWith("Add"); which I don't
think is going to be possible with the Validator as-is. It looks like you
can write your own, but I'm not familiar enough yet with how everything
works. I ended up overriding validate()in my form, calling
super.validate(), and adding this:
if (prospect == null && "".equals(address) && !action.startsWith("Add") ) {
if (errors == null) {
errors = new ActionErrors();
}
errors.add("address", new ActionError("error.prospect.address.required")
);
}
But I still don't see a reason why what I had in the xml file would not
work.
