hey,
you might want to remove the depends tag in the validator-rules.xml file.
It should ideally look like
<validator name="cNumber"
classname="com.myApp.ContactNumberValidator"
method="validateContactNumber"
methodParams="java.lang.Object,
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessages,
org.apache.commons.validator.Validator,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
msg="errors.contactNumber"/>
try and see if this works.
Thanks,
