I am surprised that noone else came across this issue. But for now, I think I will go with a custom validator. Unless I am missing something. Thanks, Harsh.

So, looking in the java specs we see that a float needs a 'decimal point, an exponent, or a float type suffix '. see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/lexical.doc.html# 230798 for more information. As for the validwhen, that should either do an integer comaprison or a string comparison. I would guess that somehow it fails to recognize 0.0 as an int and does a string compare. Then 0.0 really is > 0. either compare against 0.0 and ignore all int values as not being floats, or write a custom validator, or wait for someone smarter than me to give you a usefull answer ;} mvg, Jasper On 5/23/06, Chaudhary, Harsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a field which is being validated as: > > <field property="income" depends="validwhen,float"> > <arg key="income" position="0"/> > <var> > <var-name>test</var-name> > <var-value> > ( *this* > 0 ) > </var-value> > </var> > </field> > > Well the validwhen has a bunch of other conditions.
