Be sure to give yourself credit

if you want to use different validation rules with the validator you
have to declare different action elements in your struts-config.xml file
(using the same action class if you want).
another means is to validate your form in the methods of your action
class as propose Koni in the mail sent on the list Monday, August 25,

struts-config.xml:

       <action    path="/logon/action/logon"
                  type="test.web.struts.action.logon.LogonAction"
                  name="logonForm"
                 scope="request"        <-- !!!
              validate="false"          <-- !!!
                 input="/WEB-INF/jsp/logon/logon.jsp">
            <forward   name="success"   path="/index.jsp"/>
       </action>
LogonAction.java:

  ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
  errors = form.validate(mapping, request);
  // Report any errors we have discovered back to the original form
  if (!errors.isEmpty())
  {
      saveErrors(request, errors);
      return  new ActionForward(mapping.getInput());
  }
