1. I downloaded the most recent build.
2. Updated my validator-rules.xml to the new version.
3. Updated my app-validation.xml to use camel case variables like fieldTest instead of field-test.
4. Regenerated the static javascript and placed it in the file I use for caching (instead of generating it on each page).
My test form had 3 text boxes on it. Box 1 depends on required and email. Box 3 is required if Box 2 EQUALS "blah".

Sorry, when I say the javascript validation is "broken" I mean the validation falls through to the server. Instead of getting a javascript dialog noting that such-and-such field is required, I get a server-side message.

What do you mean by "broke all the javascript validation on that page"? That's quite vague. The - is not a valid js variable name so switching to camel case must have fixed part of the problem but perhaps caused another.

In our last episode, I downloaded the 3/20 nightly build and discovered that adding a requiredif depends broke all the javascript validation on that page. I have since reverted back to 1.1b3 and, lo and behold, javascript is no longer broken (on Netscape 7, anyway). Even though the requiredif code I'm using has the "field-*" names.
Anyway, I thought I'd add this to the muddle. If requiredif is broken in 1.1rc1, it does not appear (to me anyway) that changing variables from "field-*" to camel case has fixed it.

You can't use field-* anymore. It generates invalid javascript variables so I changed all of those variables to camel case and removed the "-". Also, can you choose a different topic for the example? This one is kind of distracting :-).

That would be me. For the moment, here's a simple example of a requiredif:
Let's say you have three fields in your form, Sex, dateOfLastMamogram, and testResult. If sex is 'F' or 'f', dateOfLastMamogram should be required. If dateOfLastMamogram is not empty, testResult is required. Here the validator XML for it:
<form name="medicalStatusForm">
<field property="dateOfLastMamogram" depends="requiredif"> <arg0 key="medicalStatusForm.dateOfLastMamogram.label"/> <var> <var-name>field[0]</var-name> <var-value>sex</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-test[0]</var-name> <var-value>EQUAL</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-value[0]</var-name> <var-value>F</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field[1]</var-name> <var-value>sex</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-test[1]</var-name> <var-value>EQUAL</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-value[1]</var-name> <var-value>f</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-join</var-name> <var-value>OR</var-value> </var> </field>
<field property="testResult" depends="requiredif"> <arg0 key="medicalStatusForm.testResult.label"/> <var> <var-name>field[0]</var-name> <var-value>dateOfLastMamogram</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-test[0]</var-name> <var-value>NOTNULL</var-value> </var> </field> </form>
I've added this example to the Validator dev guide and the Struts FAQ to
hopefully reduce the number of these queries.
