Eddie,

I believe you want to use the Struts tags on that one.

Good question!  :)  Expresso has no problem working with Struts form beans, 
so I've seen no reason why Validator can't work with Expresso as well.  I 
haven't tried it, but AFAICT there's no obstructions to making it 
work.  The only difference would be error handling, but I believe that 
could be picked up in the controller's state.

I just haven't been able to get to giving it a spin myself.
