Validator does not successfully validate empty date fields. (#10349 revisited)





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2002-12-19 00:10 -------
The only reason I'm a little nervous about this is that if anyone every starts 
using the value returned from the Validator functions for anything other than 
validity checking (i.e., to use it as a meaningful value), this would result 
in blank dates being interpretted as today's date.

All these problems came about because (in the past) the validator functions 
were changed from being straight booleans to returning arbitrary values.  
Personally, I think that was a mistake.

As the current default maintainer of Commons Validator, I'd appreciate 
input/advise on how people think this should be handled.
