Sure you can, just follow Eric's example and subclass DynaValidatorForm.
Then change your form-bean declaration to
<form-bean name="createStudentGroupForm"
type="view.struts.forms.Page_6_Form">
...
</form-bean>

Subject: Re: Validator not getting called and I can't see why
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the reply but I'm using a DynaValidatorForm so I don't have a
class to override things in. I would assume that DynaValidatorForm
validates correctly because I use it all over the place. It's just this
one action that's not validating and I just can't see what's different
here.
