Do you see any exception log messages on the server console or the log file? If yes, post the exception stacktrace.

Here is the most significant message:

javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Cannot load a validator resource from '/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml'

This is telling you that Struts can't find /WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml or /WEB-INF/validation.xml. My guess is you didn't include these files in your WAR file. If you're going to configure the Struts validator, you must have correctly configured xml files to go with it. If aren't using the Struts validator, take out the <plug-in> tag for the validator.

Didn't you say in your first post that it works fine if you remove the <plug-in> tag? Now that you've removed that tag, is it still not working?

In answer to your question, I do see one possible problem with your struts-config.xml file. In your submitForm form bean definition, you list "SubmitForm" as the type. This should be a fully qualified class name including the package. If SubmitForm is in the default package, that's a mistake also. In web applications, classes should always be in a package other than the default package.
