> This bug has to do with the struts-taglib package, specifically the code 
> generated by <html:javascript> which comes from the 
> org.apache.struts.taglib.html.JavascriptValidatorTag class.
> My implementation of the patch may not be the most effective way to 
> accomplish this, but the bug prevents a true Locale specific implementation 
> of Forms with Dates.
> From the Struts Validation Documentation (which holds true on the server side 
> validation):
> "If no pattern is specified the default short date format is assumed."
> However, if you define a Form Field as a "date" with no pattern, the client 
> side javascript does not render the datePattern in the javascript and causes 
> a clientside js NPE when checking the length of this.datePattern.
> I have added an additional method for formatting the Locale SHORT date format 
> to fill out in the MM, dd, and yyyy elements required by the static 
> javascript generator from the Commons-Validator project.
> The real patch is when looping over form fields from validation.xml.  I check 
> if it is a type "date" then keep track of whether or not a var named 
> "datePattern" exists.  If not, I add datePattern based on the Local passed in.
> Please let me know if I can help. This is a really important feature for my 
> application.
