I assume that you have all of your validations in your validation.xml and that the example validations work right?
The DynaValidatorForm has a method called validate(ActionMapping, HttpServletRequest) which "should" be called automatically if you have validate="true" in the <action> definition. I would not call this from your execute() method. While I have NO experience with the Dyna* classes I would think that they work much like the "regular" classes. You may want to try setting up a simple form using ValidatorForm and getting that to work, then try moving that to a Dyna, sorry I am out of ideas. -Devin -----Original Message----- From: Ralf Lorenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 12:00 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Losing my sanity: 1.1b & Validator problems Devin, since I don't have my own Forms but use DynaValidatorForm I tried the following. I called the DynaValidatorForm.validate(mapping, request) in the execute-method of the Action that the request should be send to after the validation took place and I don't get any errors (although I should). It doesn't make sense to extend DynaValidatorForm just to override the validate(...)-method with super.validate(...), does it? I've got a clou what the problem is! Any ideas how to get any further;-?
