Apologies for not reading more closely. And now that I have, I'm a little confused. Your original post said "But it just seems to ignore this validation whatever I set the form page property to". But below, you say "the form always gets validated. Even when the page is set to a number where the fields have not been set".
Are the validations firing, just not when you expect, or not firing at all? If not at all, have your set "validate" to "true" in your <action> def in struts-config? (BTW, if I'm off in the weeds, let me know that too. I've done this with a collection of JSP pages sharing a form def, but not via StrutsTest.)

I'm generating a form in a StrutsTest and then testing what my action does with it. It looks like this: public void testAction() { setRequestPathInfo("/myAction.do"); setActionForm(populateForm()); actionPerform(); verifyForward("correctActionForward"); verifyNoActionErrors(); } public form populateForm() { MyForm form = new MyForm(); form.setMyField1(); form.setMyField2(); form.setPage(1); // This sets the page variable in the form return form; } So anyway, the form always gets validated. Even when the page is set to a number where the fields have not been set any ideas? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <user@struts.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 5:28 PM Subject: RE: multi-page validation form > Having done exactly the same thing, I know it works (though it's been a while so > I'm trying to remember everthing I've done).
