It does work without any connection to the net, my guess is that you still have something configured wrong...do all your validation.xml files have the correct DTD at the top - including the validation-rules.xml (theres a new version that ships with Struts for the 1.1.3 validatior dtd).
When you say Struts 1.2 - is that version 1.2.4 (earlier 1.2 versions had problems and only 1.2.4 is considered GA quality). Ar you sure you've deployed the right jar version - when you upgraded to Struts 1.2.4, did you remember to upgrade the Commons Validator jar for the new 1.1.3 version? This thread had the same issue.. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.struts.user/96304 Check the 1.2.4 upgrade notes to make sure you haven't missed anything: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsUpgradeNotes11to124 Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flemming G.
