Wouter, I'm comparing dates... It isn't possible to use the String instance because the comparison doen't work the correct way (I'm using 'dd/MM/yyyy' instead of 'yyyy/MM/dd' which could work).
Actually I just realize the Date instance will not work too, because the validwhen uses the toString() method, and the Date.toString() returns a string not suitable to comparison too. I don't know what to do. Maybe extending the java.util.Date data type in a way to be used directly by Struts. I can try that, if you think it's a good idea. Please let me know. One question: is it dificult implement the action/parameter validation using OCL instead of the validwhen ?
