I am having problems installing the validator. I am getting a NullPointerException
(see below) in the validate method of ...commons.validator.Validator. I followed the
install instructions and just can't figure out what it causing the exception.
-------------------------------------------
java.lang.NullPointerException

-----------------------------------------
My configuration is as follows.
1) /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml
<form-bean name="myForm" type="com.ponthrops.web.MyForm" /> (MyForm extends
ValidatorForm)
2) /WEB-INF/validation.xml
<form-validation>
<global>
</global>
<formset>
<form name="myForm">
<field property="firstName"
indexedProperty="member"
indexedListProperty="members"
depends="required">
<arg0 key="error.firstname.displayname"/>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
</form-validation>
3) validator-rules.xml includes the validator "required"
4) /WEB-INF/lib includes commons-validator.jar, struts-validator.jar, and
jakarta-regexp-1.2.jar
5) web.xml includes the example servet config given in the install directions
My guess is I missed a configuration step, however I can't seem to figure out where.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Petra
