I think you need to have at least Struts v1.2.8 unless you manually upgraded the Commons Validator jar up to version 1.2.0. If I understand correctly, validator versions before 1.2.0 (Struts < 1.2.8) don't actually make use of the "bundle" attribute in your validator xml files.
So, what version of Struts are you using (1.1.4?) and/or what version of the Commons Validator are you using? Have you tried replacing the commons validator jar? I think I read that some people have tried that for older versions but I'm not positive.

I tried the following: <field property="name" depends="maxlength"> <msg name="maxlength" key="error.name.overflow" /> <arg name="maxlength" bundle="constraints" key="name.length" /> </field> Now I figured that this would cause the maxlength validator to get the value for maxlength from message resources, rather than hardcoding it with var, var-name and var-value tags. But it doesn't! It only uses this to pass to the {0} in the error message (in org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks.validateMaxLength, version 1.1.4): // No reference to resources at this point, only in the exception handler int max = Integer.parseInt(field.getVarValue("maxlength")); Am I missing something? - Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
