I think I found the explanation from Corey Probst back in March (11th, 2005) on this list:
__ By adding a comma separated list of struts config __ files, you are not specifying multiple *modules*, __ just multiple config files. ValidatorResources __ are stored in the ServletContext after being read ********** BINGO (that's my comment on the above) ******* __ by the plugin. So, when struts-config-two is __ read, it overwrites the info stored for __ struts-config-one. __ __ To specify multiple modules you need to declare in the __ ActionServlet init params something like this... __ <init-param> __ <param-name>config</param-name> __ <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-one.xml</param-value> __ </init-param> __ <init-param> __ <param-name>config/module1</param-name> __ <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-two.xml</param-value> __ </init-param> __ __ Corey The thread on one site archiving our struts-user list starts here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-user&m=111056535028708&w=2 Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Preston CRAWFORD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 1:46 PM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: RE: Validation seemingly not getting called any longer That would be nice. Wouldn't be a bad thing to add, either. Preston >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/8/2005 7:54 PM >>> Preston, It is great to hear you've identified your problem. I'd just been looking over my examples and couldn't find anything out of place with the code/xml/config samples you'd included. Now, about your multiple module problems, I tried to find an old link to the (wiki?/faq?) page listing things to watch out for when you use modules or multiple struts-config.xml files but I can't find it. Perhaps someone else can send you that link so you'll know what else to watch out for when using multiple (or module based) struts-config.xml files.

Weird. I rolled back to an old version to try to figure out what was different. And the 1 thing that was different is that I'd created a second struts config and second validation. So my web.xml turned into this.. <servlet-name>ourproject</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml, /WEB-INF/subproject/struts-config.xml, </param-value> </init-param> And within that other struts-config.xml I had this <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn"> <set-property property="pathnames" value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml,/WEB-INF/subproj ect/struts-config.xml"/> </plug-in> Apparently that was the wrong way to go about it, because the second validator plugin call overrides the first.
