Too late for your book, but something worth mentioning - XDoclet now has 
the capability to mark setters on a form beans with some specific @tags 
that will auto-generate validation.xml.  I noticed at the end of that 
sample chapter it mentions the pain of writing those XML files.  That 
pain is no more in any of my Struts-based projects thanks to this piece 
of XDoclet which I created.

The XDoclet feature (<strutsvalidationxml> subtask to <webdoclet>) only 
works for ValidatorForm subclasses, not the action variant (currently, 
this could be changed, but I only validate by form name, not action 
path).  And, of course, its only good for non-DynaActionform situations 
where you actually have a Java source file to process.  I do not use 
DynaActionForm's, so thats not an issue my projects either.
