Hi rahul
You have to use mask rule and specify in properties file your alert alert
I am validating zip code, zipcode contain only no.

 <field property="address.zipCode" depends="maxlength,mask">
<msg name="mask" key="errors.invalid" />
<arg0 key="contactDetails.zipCode" />
<arg1 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false" />
<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
<var-value>5</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>^[0-9]*$</var-value>
</var>
</field>

To restrict the user to enter only numbers you need to use mask rule in struts. For an example on this refer here. Mask Validation in Struts
