How many people modify validator-rules.xml vs. adding custom rules to
validation.xml (or an additional file)?
While working on the "Struts Blank" archetype for Maven 2, it became
apparent that we have an un-Maven-like situation with
validator-rules.xml. It lives in core and has to be copied across
modules in order for apps to build properly. That means you can't
check out apps separately and build it, the build doesn't work unless
you have at least core and apps checked out and structured so the
relative paths work.
The solution is to include validator-rules.xml in struts-core.jar.
Then you can *optionally* use it when you configure the Validator Plugin:
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/org/apache/struts/validator/validator-rules.xml,
/WEB-INF/validation.xml" />
</plug-in>
Or you can extract it from the jar (or continue using your existing
version of it) and configure the plugin "as usual" with
"/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml".
However, I think using the copy inside struts-core.jar should be the
recommended configuration and would like to change the example apps to
reflect that.
Thoughts?
