Hi,
I'll take a look at v1.3.1 - but ideally I should not have to hard-code
property names for separate forms in my layout.jsp.
1.3.1 doesn't help with your issue - just an additional suggestion :-)
Can I declare an empty stub just for positioning purposes?
e.g.
<field property="dateOfBirth" depends=""/>
If not I guess I'll just remove the "extends" for this use-case and go back to
defining duplicate field validations.
Sorry - I've only just realized that your issue relates to the order
when you're extending one form from another. You can define empty
validations - but they get overriden by the form that "extends".
Theres an example of this in the struts-examples webapp shipped with
Struts 1.3.5 - if you look at the "double" field in the "baseTypeForm"
it has no validation defined - "typeForm" and "jsTypeForm" both extend
"baseTypeForm" - but only "typeForm" overrides the "double"
validation - adding actual rules:

I would recommend upgrading to the latest Validator 1.3.1 release -
its compatible with Struts 1.2.9 and has a number of bug fixes:

Validator validates the fields in the order you specify them in your
validation.xml - and Struts displays messages in the order they are
added. So to control the order of messages specify the fields in the
order you want to see the messages. Alternatively you can control
messages for individual fields in struts using the "property"
attribute either on the <html:errors/> or <html:messages/> tag - for
an example see here:
