Is your InputStream null? I think you need to change the following line:

   getClass().getResourceAsStream(validationDefinition);

to

   in = getClass().getResourceAsStream(validationDefinition);

Hello,
i try to use Commons Validator outside of Struts (in an simple java
application context). Therefore i wrote a simply xml:

<!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC
     "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules
Configuration 1.1//EN"
     "http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1.dtd";>


<form-validation>

</form-validation>

The code for is simple and is mostly copied from the example
ValidateExample.java (i put that code in an init method):
    private boolean init() {
        InputStream in = null;
        boolean initOk = true;

        apps = null;
        try {
            apps = ResourceBundle.getBundle(resourceName);
        } catch (Exception lEx) {
            log.error("Error during open of properties file " + resourceName
+ ": ", lEx);
        }

        try {

            getClass().getResourceAsStream(validationDefinition);
            resources = new ValidatorResources(in);

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            log.error("Error during reading the validation definition file
"+validationDefinition+":\n"+ex.toString()+"\n");
            ex.printStackTrace(System.err);
            initOk = false;
        } finally {
            // Make sure we close the input stream.
            if (in != null) {
                 try {
                     in.close();
                 } catch (Exception ignore) {}
            }
        }
        return initOk;
    }

This compiles in Eclipse.

At runtime there is an MalformedURLException thrown at the line "resources =
new ValidatorResources(in);"

I have no clue what goes wrong here. When i compile and run the example from
the Validator package, everything goes fine.

I would appreciate any help.
Many thanks,
Lian
