I am really getting frustrated in making the validation framework work for my login screen.

I have done almost all the things correctly but could not figure where i have gone wrong.
Below contain my struts-config.xml file

<form-beans>
	<form-bean 
		name="loginForm"
		type="com.attragroup.tcr.forms.LoginForm" />
    </form-beans>

<action-mappings>
            
            
        <action path="/login" type="com.attragroup.tcr.action.LoginAction" name="loginForm" scope="request" validate="true" input="/login.jsp"/>
        <action path="/authenticate" type="com.attragroup.tcr.action.AuthenticateProjectAction" />
        <action path="/Welcome" forward="/pages/Welcome.jsp" />

</action-mappings>

<message-resources parameter="com.attragroup.tcr.settings.MessageResources"/>
    <message-resources parameter="com.attragroup.tcr.settings.LabelResources"  key="label" />

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
        <set-property property="pathnames" value="/org/apache/struts/validator/validator-rules.xml,
           /WEB-INF/validation.xml" />
    </plug-in>

</struts-config>

Below is the content of validation.xml file

next is the content of login.jsp page.

It will be great if someone could identify the mistake i have made. Currently when i click login button without entering anything in the username field nothing happens. I currently expect validation error message to be displayed for not entering the username

I have resolved the issue. There was a invalid <form-bean/> tag in the struts config file.
