validaton and i18n

[Laurie Harper]

I've finally managed to get the Struts Validator working, thanks to the 
sample chapter on it from Struts in Action. I'm having one small problem 
still, though. When validation fails, I get a blank alery popup.

Looking at the generated Javascript the problem appears to be that the 
message strings aren't populated:

    function required () {
     this.aa = new Array("email", "", new Function ("varName", 
"this.mask=/^([!#\\$%&'\\*\\+\\-\\.\\/0-9=\\?A-Z\\^\\x5E_`a-z\\{\\|\\}~]+)@(([0-9a-zA-Z]([0-9a-zA-Z-]*[0-9a-zA-Z])?)(\\.[0-9a-zA-Z]([0-9a-zA-Z-]*[0-9a-zA-Z])?)+)$/; 
 return this[varName];"));
     this.ab = new Array("password", "", new Function ("varName", " 
return this[varName];"));
    }

The message keys are defined in the validation.xml file, I think correctly:

    <formset>
        <form name="logonForm">
            <field property="email" depends="required,mask">
                <arg0 key="logon.error.email.missing"/>
                <var>
                    <var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>^([!#\$%&amp;'\*\+\-\.\/0-9=\?A-Z\^\x5E_`a-z\{\|\}~]+)@(([0-9a-zA-Z]([0-9a-zA-Z-]*[0-9a-zA-Z])?)(\.[0-9a-zA-Z]([0-9a-zA-Z-]*[0-9a-zA-Z])?)+)$</var-value>
                </var>
            </field>
            <field property="password" depends="required">
                <arg0 key="logon.error.password.missing"/>
            </field>
        </form>
    </formset>
The message resources are defined and, indeed, I can see in the Struts 
debug log that they're being looked up when the form is rendered:

L4J 2004-03-31 19:52:00,945 DEBUG PropertyMessageResources 
getMessage(en_US,errors.required)

L4J 2004-03-31 19:52:00,946 DEBUG PropertyMessageResources 
getMessage(en_US,logon.error.password.missing)
L4J 2004-03-31 19:52:00,946 DEBUG PropertyMessageResources loadLocale(en_US)
L4J 2004-03-31 19:52:00,946 DEBUG PropertyMessageResources 
getMessage(en_US,errors.required)
L4J 2004-03-31 19:52:00,957 DEBUG PropertyMessageResources 
getMessage(en_US,logon.error.email.missing)

They just never get pushed to the page. Here's what I'm using to get the 
form validation in my JSP:

  <html:form action="/logon" focus="email"
      onsubmit="return validateLogonForm(this)">
    <html:javascript formName="logonForm"/>
    ...
What have I missed?

Thanks,

L.
