What are common simple mistakes that would prevent validation from occuring? I've got a simple struts application that runs correctly except that validation doesn't occur. The form info is accepted as correct when required information is missing.
I'm trying to figure out what's missing from my setup or understanding. The ValidatorForm (my extension) class has appropriate get and set functions for all fields. (The fields are spread over 3 jsp pages, if that matters.) I've added the validator plugin to the struts-config, the action mapping has validate="true" and a valid input path, added the validation-rules and validation.xml file, added the resource properties file with the standard errors (taken from the struts file). If I write my own validate method in the form bean that validation works properly. It's my understanding that if I'm using the validation framework, I should not have a validate() method in the form. Am I misunderstanding something? Any ideas what might be setup wrong or missing.
