Yes, you can get the dates validated this way, but isn't actually the tough hurdle.
You've got Date objects being stored some place. You'll need them displayed as Strings in your Action Form. You'll need them formatted by Locale. You'll want want the Strings converted back to Dates in the processing Action. You'll need them parsed by Locale. Unless someone can offer a better explanation of the usage of LocaleBeanUtils than I can, this may prove to be quite the annoying little repeated task. -Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeff Caesar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 7:04 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: Date validator and I18N > > > I haven't personally tried doing this, but according to the > doc you can specify language/country/variant on the formset > when defining your validation so that the validator will > choose the best one available for the given user's locale. > > From the validator DTD: > <!-- > The "formset" element defines a set of forms for a > locale.
