Well, you can use multiple validations, (including validwhen) together,
but if you do they all have to pass. So you can't, for example, use
validwhen to say a field can be empty if some other field isn't set, but
must pass the 'date' validation otherwise. Not sure if that made sense
or not...

Just wondering Laurie ... why cant I use other "validation rules" along with
validwhen? I dont see any fundamental reason why I need to resort to regular
expressions when I use validwhen tag. For example, it would be great if I
could say .. validwhen (some test) .. use the date validation!
Is there something inherent in the way it is designed that this is not
possible?

I was going to say 'yes, you can do that,' but I don't think you can
express field length constraints with validwhen unfortunately :-(

field1) i need to validate the pasword field. How can i do this??
You can use one of the form bean types with 'Action' in the name, such
as ValidatorActionForm.
http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.7/api/org/apache/struts/validator/ValidatorActionForm.html
These are mapped by path instead of form bean name, so you can have a
different set of rules for each action mapping.
In validation.xml, you might have:
<form name="/register">
which matches up with (from struts-config.xml)
<action path="/register" ... >

The other thing you might want to look at is the 'validwhen' rule [1],
if you want to base your validation criteria on the value of field1
rather than on the action mapping path.
