Sorry to confuse you Niall. Actually we are using Commons Validator as standalone project. (Not with Struts). I was wrongly mentioned that earlier by mistake.
Is it possible to extend commons Validator 1.2.0 to achieve this behavior? Regards and Thanks in advance.

Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daggumalli, Sivaji" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 10:04 PM Hi, Afternoon got a commons Validator problem... We are using the Struts Validator and in my validation.xml i have: <form name="myForm"> <field property="dateOfBirth" depends="required, date"> <arg0 key="x.dateOfBirth"/> <var> <var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name> <var-value>dd/mm/yyyy</var-value> </var> </field> </form> In Application Resources i have: errors.date={0} is not a date. x.dateOfBirth=Date Of Birth If the user entered date is in the wrong format an error message is produced: Date Of Birth is not a date. This is all good. But what I am trying to achieve is including the input value in the message. I know in the validation.xml you can specify and use vars in the error message (for example): <arg1 key="${var:minlength}" name="minlength" resource="false" /> <var> <var-name>minlength</var-name> <var-value>10</var-value> </var> What I want to do is replace the <var-value> (the literal vaue '10') with the user input. I have tried many things ${field:dateOfBirth}, ${dateOfBirth}, ${myForm.dateOfBirth} but none have worked.
