Hi, what exact value did you enter with the date pattern MM/dd/yy? I dont like datePatternStrict because you have to enter the leading zero for dd and MM; and the year should format according to java.text.SimpleDateFormat rules. I use dd/MM/yyyy (not strict) and the user can type the full year. I usually accompany "date" with my own custom date validators to ensure the date entered is in a valid range (eg >= today, between today-80 and today+20) While day and month are always meaningful, year could be almost anything...if user types "2" should that be 1902, 2002 or even 2012 or 1992 ? Although you could write a custom validator and try to handle 2 /4 digit years - you still have to work out the "real" year; which is a combination of 1. what year did the user intend? 2. what year does my application expect/want? Solution 1. use the yyyy pattern 2. use extra validation Good Luck

In the validation.xml i use this: <formset> <form name="entryPageForm"> <field property="reqinitialdate" depends="date"> <arg0 key="entryPageForm.reqinitialdate.displayname"/> <var> <var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name> <var-value>MM/dd/yy</var-value> </var> </field> So i changed the <var-value> to the format i need but it still doesn't work. What could be the problem? And what shall i do if i want to accept the both format? (MM/dd/yy and MM/dd/yyyy) Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Date-validation-tf2684724.html#a7488591 Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
