A simple adaption of the Struts Validator tag to extract the javascript code It's old code, but it works.
Any comments are welcome on the Velocity Developer's List <velocity-dev@jakarta.apache.org>.
Marinó A. Jónsson

here's an updated and cleaned up version: VelocityToolsValidatorTool
i don't have any apps set up with VelocityStruts + Validator right now that i can test this on. so, if someone would be willing to make sure i didn't screw things up, i'd appreciate it.

* <p>Title: ValidatorTool</p>
* <p>Description: View tool to work with the Struts Validator to produce client side javascript validation.</p>
* <p>Usage:
*
* Template example:
*
* <!-- javascript form validation -->
* #set ($foo = $validator.setFormName("nameofyourform"))
* $validator.javascript <-- spits out the dynamic javascript
*
* or simply
*
* $validator.javascript("nameOfYourForm")
*
*
* Toolbox configuration:
*
* <tool>
* <key>validator</key>
* <scope>request</scope>
* <class>package org.apache.velocity.tools.struts.ValidatorTool</class>
* </tool>
*
* <p>This is a quick copy/paste of the JavascriptValidator Tag
* from the Struts 1.1 validator library</p>
