Thanks, Gavin. I modified the inputText tags in 'register.xhtml' as follows. From: | <table border="0"> | <s:validateAll> | ... | <tr> | <td>Password</td> | <td><tr:inputText value="#{user.password}" secret="true" | required="true" | requiredMessageDetail="Must enter a password" />td> | </tr> | </s:validateAll> | </table> | To: | <table border="0"> | ... | <tr> | <td>Password</td> | <td><tr:inputText value="#{user.password}" secret="true" | required="true" | requiredMessageDetail="Must enter a password"> | <s:validate /> | </tr:inputText></td> | </tr> | </table> | This works as expected (many thanks). It leaves me a bit puzzled, however...the doco says that <s:validateAll> "...simply adds an <s:validate> to every input in the form. " The doco seems to "lead one away" from using <s:validate>. Is Tridindad forcing special handling (or what...)? Could you clarify for me, please. Cheers, Alph View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985282#...
