Thank you much for your response. Two things.... 1) Sorry, I left out a big piece of detail. I'm interested in doing this validation only on the server side (no javascript). Yet I still can't get it to work. Are you saying that I'm doing it correctly as show here?
<field property="my_collection_property" indexedListProperty="form_bean_name"> Your html:messages code was helpful in getting the errors for the top level bean, but there are still no errors for the nested beans... but that's because it's not validating them. I know this because validation will pass if the top level bean has the correct properties... regardless of what's in the nested beans. The nested beans just aren't being checked for validation. 2) About the book..... I completely agree. Glad to know it's not just me ;) --- Mark Lowe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Programming jakarta struts is a nice introduction to > webapp development > in general and struts development too.
