Devin, thanks for further the further explanation. I replied to your
previous email earlier this morning, but it seems to have been lost in
the ether. Anyway, I also tried including super.validate() in my form
bean, which confirmed that Validation is in fact being done. The mystery
is why validation is being performed but control is never returned to
the JSP. It simply dies. No error. Nothing. I didn't change anything in
the code when moving to 1.1b, so am beginning to wonder if this is a bug
of some sort.
I've spent way too many hours trying to track down the problem and may
have to just go back to 1.1a if I can't find a solution today.
Thanks again for the help.
Andrew
