[Opensource] Struts1.1 and validation

[Eddie Lewis]

I am trying to incorporate struts 1.1 validation into expresso
 
 
I have my config file specified as
 
default = DefaultForm which extends ActionForm
 
<action path="/Login" type="com.cal.controller.LoginCont" name="default"
scope="request" validate="false">
     <forward name="promptLogin" path="/jsp/generic_detail_page.jsp"/>
 
For struts validation - 
i create my own validation bean and need to reference it in my config.xml as
 
<action path="/Login" type="com.cal.controller.LoginCont" name="loginForm"
scope="request" validate="true">
    <forward name="promptLogin" path="/jsp/generic_detail_page.jsp"/>

loginForm = LoginForm which extends ValidationForm
 
when i do this - on calling the state (promptLogin) i get a
classCastException as LoginForm is not of type DefaultForm.
 
is there a way around this or is some setting required ??
any help would be much appreciated. 
If i can get this working, i will document and send to the community as the
validation is a pretty handy plugin to complement the expresso architecture.
 
Thats all folks.
