I'm not convinced that validwhen is\was such a great replacement for requiredif. I think it has caused as much confusion as requiredif did Maybe the EL Validator thats been proposed will be better and we should hold off removing requiredif until thats available as a replacement:

It looks like James Turner deprecated it (or intended to) in April 2003: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-dev&m=105042119528289&w=2 but as you've observed, the deprecation only happened in the docs and not the code. If we're all happy with validwhen as the replacement, we should get rid of the requiredif code, IMO. I'm not sure we need to go through the process of deprecating the source for another release before we do that. -- Martin Cooper > Whatever it is, we should at least be consistent about it. > > Don --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
