There appears to be a bug in the way that the error messages are put together in the validator code. The problem shows up in both the server side and client side messages, and I suspect appears only for messages that have more than one argument.
The easiest way to see the problem is in the registration tests in the validator module of the struts-examples app. If you just stick an "a" in every field and click Save, you'll see:
o 5 can not be less than null characters. o Zip is invalid. o Phone is invalid. o E-mail is an invalid e-mail address.
The first of these is clearly wrong, and should have read "First Name can not be less than 5 characters". Somehow the field name seems to have been missed from the args.
I've taken a quick look at the code, and don't see where things are going wrong, so I'm hoping someone more familiar with that code could take a quick look also, and see if they can spot the problem.
The bug is in the XML, not in the code. When using the <arg> element, one should use the "position" attribute to specify where in the arg array the specific argument belongs. (So I've just discovered.)
So whenever the XML was adjusted to use <arg> instead of <arg0>, <arg1>, etc, it looks like that step was just overlooked.
I think I fixed it in all the relevant places: min length for first name, max length for last name, and the int and float ranges on the type validation form. Hopefully I didn't miss any!
