Hi, I am using Apache Struts and Validator framework for my current project. I have encountered this problem when I tried to create my own validation rule:I want to validate a field against another field. For this purpose I have created my own validation method, created new XML file instead of changing the original validator-rules.xml file, and updated validation.xml file. Everything has been fine so far. I have configured validation for the new rule in validation.xml as follows: <field property="priority" depends="urgency"> <arg0 key="prompt.urgency"/> <var> <var-name>explainUrgency</var-name> <var-value>urgency</var-value> </var> </field> Here, the name of first field is "priority" and the second is "urgency". When I use: String explainUrgency = field.getVarValue("explainUrgency"); in my own validation method to get the real value of the field urgency, I get the text "urgency". What should I do to get the value of the field "urgency" in the form?
Typically you would use the <var> element if you wanted to make the name of the second field "configurable" and then use the configured property name along with introspection to get the value from the ActionForm. If for this rule the field is always going to be "urgency" then you don't need to use a <var> element at all - just access the property directly from the ActionForm passed to your validation method.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
