Hello,
I cannot seem to get the validator to plug args into my messages.
Everything else works (LogonForm.java/LogonAction.java,...).
When I run this basic test and click Submit with 3 empty fields, I get: {0} is
required!{0} is required!{0} is required!
Maybe somebody could kindly point out something obvious that I
missed/don't (yet) get?!
Thanks --Mike
