RE: validator question: show value of a field in error
We want to do exaclty the same. After many attempts, it seems that Struts 1.1 Validator does not provide this functionality. It seems that there will be an evolution in Struts 1.2 with the validwhen validator, see : Designing Complex Validations with validwhen, http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html and http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/validator/validwhen/V alidWhen.html We are (will be) using intensively the Struts Validator and we do need this feature as soon as possible. If there are other people interested, maybe we can work together on the subject. First, let's write a short technical spec document, write a test class and then implement it ! As far I am concerned, we just need to extend FieldChecks to add the value of the field in the ActionError. Let me know what you think.

newbie validator question: show value of a field in error
I have a dumb question re: struts validator: How do I show the value of the offending field in the error message as opposed to the field name? i.e. if the field I want to validate is email, and the user types in foo, how do I show 'foo' is not a valid email address as opposed to the more standard (or widely documented) error 'Email Address' is not valid Thanks, Daniel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: newbie validator question: show value of a field in error
u catch the username field value using bean:write tag and concatenate the error
message defined in applicationresources.properties file errors.email={0} is not a
valid email address.

Re: newbie validator question: show value of a field in error
I could certainly do this by hand in the validate() method of the form or in
the action (which I have been doing this for the last few months), but I was
hoping the validator could do it for me somehow...
or maybe I misunderstood you? obviously concatenating strings would be
bad due to i18n.
