Mark, you are right about struts validation.
Please post your code.

I found using the Struts validation cumbersome and unpredictable, so I just
wrote a custom tag to validate my input forms.  If anyone is interested,
I'll post the code.

Hi,

I'm having really hard time to figure out why the validator is not working.
Here is the summary what i did:

1. I tried to produce debug/error messages for org.apache.commons.validator
but no luck.
        (see thread "How can i turn on debug for
org.apache.commons.validator")

2. I override validate method in my ActionForm and put the same code from
validate method in validate.java(org.apache.commons.validator). I found out
that my validation.xml file is not initialize. I don't know why. I follow
validator sample come with struts. I'm using 1.1b1.

here is all required info if any one interested helping me out.

// CRTypeForm.java
public class CRTypeForm extends ValidatorForm {

    // CR Type name
    private String crTypeName;

    public String getCrTypeName() {
        logger.debug("CRTypeForm:getCrTypeName" + crTypeName);
        return crTypeName;
    }

    public void setCrTypeName(String crTypeName) {
        logger.debug("CRTypeForm:setCrTypeName" + crTypeName);
        this.crTypeName = crTypeName;
    }
}


// struts-config.xml
