thanks - that made sense. BUT wasn't the source of the problem. I have found that my class needs to subclass org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm (not ValidatorActionForm or ActionForm) in order for validation rules to be produced.
This now has the side-effect that my '@struts.form name=""' class javadoc declaration is not parsed (this seems to only be the case if the class extends ActionForm). Any clues as to a way round this?
