Chris - To learn the validator plug-in,, I went through this tutorial from Oracle and it worked great!!! You can deploy a validator plug-in JSP page in 30 minutes.
Try it! http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe9051jdev/strutsvalidator/validator.htm the catch is you must use jdeveloper 10g,-- but that is free also.. don -----Original Message----- From: Chris Stavrianou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 21, 2004 7:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Newbie Validator Basic Configuration Hi, I am attempting to use Validator with DynaValidatorActionForms - but can't get the Validator Plugin to work.
