thanks for the reply,
I just tried the 9/25/2001 release and used the
validator.war file as a starting point. All I did
after that was delete the struts.jar and replace with
struts1-0.jar. This does not work. Maybe I am doing
something wrong? The error is about ActionMessages
which is in the nightly build but not the struts1-0
release.
