If you want to perform JS operations in your JSP, then I'm afraid that there's nothing Struts can do much about. That's just simple client-side JS. However, if you want to move your JS related operations to the server-side, then I'd suggest look into the Validator framework packaged along with the Struts framework.

This message is telling you that Struts can't find either the file /WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml or /WEB-INF/validation.xml.
