Struts validation not work properly

hi...

i have a problem with my struts validation framework.
i using struts 1.0...

i have 2 page which is:

1)index.jsp
===================================

<%@ page language="java"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean" prefix="bean"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<html:link action="/example.do?actLink=addrecord">[Add record]
</html:link><br>
</body>
</html>

2)add.jsp
================================

<%@ page language="java"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean" prefix="bean"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-logic" prefix="logic" %>

<html>
<head>
<title>JSP for exampleForm</title>
<html:javascript formName="exampleForm" />
</head>
<body>
<html:form action="/example" onsubmit="return validateExampleForm(this)">
<html:errors /> <br>
Name: <html:text property="name" /> <br>
Age: <html:text property="age" /> <br>
Email: <html:text property="email" /> <br>
NRIC: <html:text property="nric" /> <br>
Address: <html:text property="address" /> <br>
<html:submit value="Send"/>
</html:form>
</body>
</html>

index.jsp act as my 1st page & when it load it has 1 link [Add record] which will open add.jsp (form). in this add.jsp i have several fields which requires some validation (client side - javascript).

currently i managed to validate 2 fields (name & age). for the rest, when i try to put 1 more validation (let say for email), i could not click on [Add record] link to open add.jsp.

but when i remove it, it can open the add.jsp, it seems like it's only allowed for 2 fields to be validated. what have i missed? is there anything that i forgot...

pls help to advise, i face it for almost a week now...

this is my action class...

========================================

public class ExampleAction extends Action {

public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {

String link = (String) request.getParameter("actLink");

System.out.println("actLink----------->"+link);

return mapping.findForward(link);
}

}

my bean class......
=========================================

public class ExampleForm extends ValidatorForm {

//Eigenschaften der Klasse
private String actLink;

private String name;
private int age;
private String email;
private String nric;
private String address;

public String getActLink() {
return actLink;
}
public void setActLink(String actLink) {
this.actLink = actLink;
}
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
public String getNric() {
return nric;
}
public void setNric(String nric) {
this.nric = nric;
}
public String getAddress() {
return address;
}
public void setAddress(String address) {
this.address = address;
}
}

my struts-config.xml
======================================
<form-beans >
<form-bean name="exampleForm" type="de.laliluna.tutorial.validatorform.form.ExampleForm" />
</form-beans>

<global-exceptions />
<global-forwards />
<action-mappings >
<action
attribute="exampleForm"
input="/form/index.jsp"
name="exampleForm"
path="/example"
scope="request"
type="de.laliluna.tutorial.validatorform.action.ExampleAction" >
<forward name="home" path="/form/index.jsp" />
<forward name="addrecord" path="/form/add.jsp" />
<forward name="link1" path="/form/link1.jsp" />
<forward name="link2" path="/form/link2.jsp" />
</action>

</action-mappings>

my validation.xml
=====================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.1.3//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1_3.dtd">
