Another thought. You say your using Validator 1.1.3 (and presumably Struts 1.2.4?) - I just took a quick look at the tutorial - their versions of the validator config files are for Validator 1.0
Make sure your validator-rules.xml is the latest one that ships with Struts 1.2.4 - its in the "lib" folder in the binary distro. Also make sure your validation.xml has the correct dtd declaration at the top: <!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration 1.1.3//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1_3.dtd";> Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Niall Pemberton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 12:44 PM Subject: Re: Exception when app goes to form which extends ValidatorForm > The error is basically saying that it can't find any configured validation > resources.
