Oops sorry if I wasn't clear. The actual message returned is correct, "Start date is not a date" The actual error message is ok, I just don't want the validator to look at the field if it's null. I went so far as to make sure that the get method returns a null if the length of the field is < 1, but that had no effect. Any other ideas? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Looks like
field.startDate=Date is missing in the resource bundle. --Mahender Hi All, Got a question about configuring the validator. I have a date field that I would like validated only if it has been entered. I have the following entry in the validation.xml datePatternStrict MM/dd/yyyy As it stands, if the user does not enter a date, i get back an error saying that the date "is not a date." Also, where can I find some docs on the Validator other then the javadoc, cause the javadocs, ahm, well just don't seem to answer the questions I have?
