mask validation not working

[Pranav Sharma]

My validator.xml contains simple validations for required and mask.

The 'required' works but when I take it off and leave only mask this does not get validated.

Can anyone see why.

  <form name="DataForm">
 
<field property="name" depends="mask">
<arg0 key="title.lastname"/>
                    <var>
                       <var-name>mask</var-name>
                       <var-value>[a-zA-Z]*</var-value>
                     </var>
</field>

my error in the resources file is :
errors.invalid={0} is invalid.

I read on the struts website that the validator needs a ^ and $ struts 1.1 onwards, however this does not work either

<var-value>^[a-zA-Z]*$</var-value>

<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>[a-zA-Z]+</var-value>
</var>
