Eeep! Don't do that...

The problem is the ole depends=required for all the common validator types in validation-rules.xml. Try removing them and see if it works better (until we can get them pulled out of the base version in struts.)

What happened is that Commons Validator got fixed, and the depends=required that had been in the
rules forever started working.

Everyone who's sick of hearing about depends=required, raise their hands :-)
