This is true, the methods on the proxy will not be annotated, but Struts 2 does search super classes for those annotations. Since proxies generated by CGLIB extend the class they proxy, S2 will pick up those validation annotations on the super class methods. So, in short, annotation validation does work when proxies are involved. Jeromy is also right that there is a bug for @SkipValidation not working with proxies.
