What have you tried?
Struts provide client side and server side validation which one are you trying to achieve?
Since you have most of it in validation.xml => UI validation. Do 'View source' on the loaded page for which you are trying to validate and see if struts has painted the related javascript which is included in the validation.xml.
If this javascript validation methods are available then post the JSP code as well.
