[validator] help with dependent + minlength

[Emmanouil Batsis]

Dear validator gurus,
Consider two fields, type and time. The first mandatory, the second 
dependent on the value of the first.

What I'm trying to do enforce a not null and not empty value for the 
time field, when the type has a value of 'time'. I've been trying to do 
this for more than an hour; I was hoping someone can spot my error as i 
have become really unproductive here :-)

Below I have both my generated validator.xml fragment and my webdoclet 
tags. Please let me know what is wrong with either!

Thanks,
Manos
type field
@struts.validator type="required"  msgkey="error.form.eauction.type"
time field
@struts.validator type="minlength"
                arg1value="${var:minlength}"
@struts.validator type="validwhen"
@struts.validator-args arg0resource="error.form.eauction.time"
@struts.validator-var name="minlength"
                     value="1"
@struts.validator-var name="test"
                     value="((type != 'time') or (*this* != null))"
And my XML fragment:
<field property="type"
   depends="required">
<msg
  name="required"
  key="error.form.eauction.type"/>
<arg0 key="auctionDefinitionForm.type"/>
</field>
<field property="time"
   depends="minlength,validwhen">
<arg0
  key="error.form.eauction.time"
/>
<arg1
    name="minlength"
  key="${var:minlength}"
    resource="false"
/>
<var>
  <var-name>minlength</var-name>
  <var-value>1</var-value>
</var>
<var>
  <var-name>test</var-name>
  <var-value>((type != 'time') or (*this* != null))</var-value>
</var>
</field>
