I haven't used the validator in a while but I have a 3 questions for you:
1. If, as you say, the Javascript tag isn't being enclosed in
<script>..</script> tags, then you need to verify that your validation file
is loaded AND that you have the correct form name in your <html:javascript
formName="...." />.  I've had that problem before when the file either was
not loaded (bad path on my part for the plug-in) OR when the formName="..."
didn't match anything in my validation.xml file.  I recommend you make sure
the file loaded properly and is in the correct path specified in your plugIn
as you listed a matching formName in that .xml file.
 

Well, first things first ;)
[ValidatorPlugIn] Loading validation rules file from 
'/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml'
[ValidatorPlugIn] Loading validation rules file from 
'/WEB-INF/validation.xml'
I guess this implies that it's been loaded right? Well the name of the 
form matches both javascript tag and validation.

2. Since your html:javascript tag names the form "userForm", why isn't your
action tag's onSubmit call this:
onsubmit="return validateUserForm(this);"
 

Sorry, this is what I didn't  understand. I thought that the name would 
be the name of the function declared on the validatior-rules.xml

3. What does your action mapping look like?  I should look a bit like this
(depending on how you customized it, of course):
<action path="/atualizaDadosUsuarioAction"
        name="userForm"
        type="AAAA"
        validate="true"
        input="BBBB" >
        <forward name="success" path="????" />
</action>
I. The "AAAA" should be the class name of the Action subclass to invoke.
II. The validate="true" forces the server-side to user the userForm's
validate() method provided by the super class ValidatorForm.  This allows
validation failure to go to the place specified in the input="BBBB"
attribute for your action in the struts-config.xml (or related Struts
module) file.
III. The "BBBB" should be a place to go (JSP, forward, html page, action) to
go to when validation fails.  Typically, this is some input form page which
is often the page calling the "/atualizaDadosUsuarioAction" Struts action in
the first place.

Well step 3 looks just like above. I'll try other stuff here. But thanks 
for the help David.
