Thanks for the input. I'm pretty sure I've got all that though. This validator stuff is driving me insane! I wish my boss would just let me use the validate method of the ActionForms.

Week ago I sent condition set you need to satisfy to make common validator working. It is bellow. For example, we have a very simple jsp form and want to use standard server-side validator 'required' for one form field. Actually, it might vary, but to do so you have: 1) Resource (.properties) file with keys/values for standard validators (at least - errors.required) 2) struts-config file should contain the reference to this resource file for message-resources node 3) struts-config plug-in node should contain className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn" 4) this plugin should have set-property with name pathnames that corresponds to validator files (such as /WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml and /WEB-INF/validation.xml) 5) validation.xml should contain form with name corresponds to form-bean name 6) the form should have a field with property that corresponds to field name we want to validate 7) this field should have a 'depends' attribute that corresponds to validator name mentioned in /WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml (in our case - with name 'required') 8) this field should have an arg0 node which attribute key corresponds to existing key in resource file 9) form bean should inherit org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm class 10) form bean validate should call validate method of super class 11) 'input' attribute of action should reference to jsp page with validated form 12) jsp page should contains <html:errors /> (or its substitute) Regards, Sergey Smirnov ----------------------------------------- Exadel Struts Studio - IDE for Struts http://www.exadel.com/strutsStudio ----------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kamholz, Keith (corp-staff) USX" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 9:25 AM Subject: Validator > Hey, > I'm trying to put validation into my application using the validator plugin. > However it doesn't seem like it's doing anything at all.
