Hi,

guess the below code snippets should help you....
Courtesy to struts apache website which has the below example. More details available in Validator Struts Site

 
<validator name="twofields"
       classname="com.mysite.StrutsValidator"
       method="validateTwoFields"
       msg="errors.twofields"/>
<field property="password"
       depends="required,twofields">
          <arg position="0" key="typeForm.password.displayname">
          <var>
             <var-name>secondProperty</var-name>
             <var-value>password2</var-value>
          </var>
</field>

public static boolean validateTwoFields(
    Object bean,
    ValidatorAction va, 
    Field field,
    ActionErrors errors,
    HttpServletRequest request, 
    ServletContext application) {

    String value = ValidatorUtils.getValueAsString(
        bean, 
        field.getProperty());
    String sProperty2 = field.getVarValue("secondProperty");
    String value2 = ValidatorUtils.getValueAsString(
        bean, 
        sProperty2);

    if (!GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull(value)) {
       try {
          if (!value.equals(value2)) {
             errors.add(field.getKey(),
                Resources.getActionError(
                    application,
                    request,
                    va,
                    field));

             return false;
          }
       } catch (Exception e) {
             errors.add(field.getKey(),
                Resources.getActionError(
                    application,
                    request,
                    va,
                    field));
             return false;
       }
    }

    return true;
}

Hi Praveen,

Thanks for your help. I was doing this way

 <field property="password2" depends="required,validwhen">
                <arg key="prompt.password" />
                <var>
                    <var-name>test</var-name>
                    <var-value>(*this* == password1)</var-value>
                </var>
            </field
