I have gotten the validator to work in may of my projects, but I am stuck on this one and was wondering if someone can help. I have a MessageResources.properties under WEB-INF/classes which contains all the messages. In my struts-config I have the following line <message-resources key="messages" parameter="MessageResources" /> Here is my validation.xml <form name="/showConfirmCompletedCourses"> <field property="selectedCategory" depends="required"> <arg key="label.Category"/> </field> <field property="startDate" depends="required,date"> <arg key="label.StartDate"/> <var> <var-name>datePattern</var-name> <var-value>MM/dd/yyyy</var-value> </var> </field> </form> I also tried putting <arg bundle="messages" key="label.Category"/> I always get an exception when I validate. I call the form.validate from my action class, I always get the following exception
