Thanks Niall, I will give it a try, it sounds good :) what about other HTML input component? Is it doable the same way?

I overrode the getStyleClass() method to do the following: 1) Retrieve the "ActionErrors" from the request 2) Check if there is an error message for the name/property 3) If there is an error - append a suffix to the StyleClass attribute ("Err" by default") So I have something like: <myTagLib:text property="somethingOrOther" styleClass="fieldStyle"/> If "somethingOrOther" is VALID it generates: <input type="text" class="fieldStyle" ..../> If "somethingOrOther" is INVALID it generates: <input type="text" class="fieldStyleErr" ..../> All you have to do is set up two styles in your style sheet, the error style with an appropriate color.
