i tried escaping the <, but still get no validation on length - am i accessing the method correctly?

Toby,

Because it's XML, you need to escape the < - ie &lt;

Cheers,

hi there again, i am attempting to validate string length using XWork
validation.

i solved the problem using a custom validator, which i have attached in
case anyone finds it useful ... feel free to roll it into xwork.

then i suddenly realised that i could possibly use the expression
validator to test string length without having a custom class. so i
wrote the following, but it doesn't parse because of the '<' character
(this possibly means that the example on the wiki is also broken).
wrapping in a CDATA element gives an error stating 'Got result of null
when trying to get boolean'.

<validator type="expression">
  <param name="expression">title.length < 10</param>
  <message>Title must be less than 10 characters long.</message>
</validator>

CDATA:
<![CDATA[title.length < 10]]>

is using the expression validation not possible when validating string
length?
