We want to do exaclty the same. After many attempts, it seems that Struts 1.1 Validator does not provide this functionality.
It seems that there will be an evolution in Struts 1.2 with the validwhen validator, see : "Designing Complex Validations with validwhen", http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html and http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/validator/validwhen/V alidWhen.html We are (will be) using intensively the Struts Validator and we do need this feature as soon as possible. If there are other people interested, maybe we can work together on the subject. First, let's write a short technical spec document, write a test class and then implement it ! As far I am concerned, we just need to extend FieldChecks to add the value of the field in the ActionError. Let me know what you think.
