Kevin, A number of java application/web servers have issues with files outside of the web application directories. For example Tomcat has a policy file that often requires tweaking to open files in other places for reading. What is your application server? Perhaps someone here has experience with it.

If I save the new file under /WEB-INF/ and add it to the ValidatorPlugIn "pathnames" in struts-config.xml everything works fine. If I move the new file out into the class hierarchy and change the ValidatorPlugIn entry to point to the new location, it all turns to custard and I get the following in the logs: Loading validation rules file from '/nz/ac/otago/corpserv/paper/web/struts/forms/validation/paper-search-valida tion .xml' Skipping validation rules file from '/nz/ac/otago/corpserv/paper/web/struts/forms/validation/paper-search-valida tion .xml'. No stream could be opened. javax.servlet.ServletException: Skipping validation rules file from '/nz/ac/otago/corpserv/paper/web/struts/forms/validation/paper-search-valida tion .xml'. No stream could be opened. at org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn.initResources(ValidatorPlugIn.ja va:2 26) at org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn.init(ValidatorPlugIn.java:162) Is it possible to specify a location that isn't under web-inf for the validation file and if so how is it specified? All the examples I've googled, that have the file not under web-inf, use the old style "pathname" property to specify the location.
