Because there are other places to do validation, like the server. > And, are you saying that it is not possible to do a simple > 'equals' test in client side validation? > > <validator type="expression">password.equals(password2) > <message>Passwords do not match</message> > </validator> The expressions used by the expression validator [1] are OGNL-based expressions, not JavaScript. It would be *possible*, but JavaScript !=OGNL, and it's my assumption that nobody wanted to write a JavaScript library that implements everything available in OGNL. That said, I suppose one could take a DWR-like Java => JavaScript mapping layer then write OGNL in JavaScript and hook the two up. I don't know what the current status of the XWork validation framework re-thinking is, but I'm sure if something like that was contributed we'd look at it.
