You can call your validate method in your Form.validate() initial when you populate the form. If the date format is not the one you wanted, you use a decorator to format it, but don't add the error to the errors collection(since this is just displaying the form). On the client side, you can call validateWhen(myForm) in onLoad(), etc. Do I understand what you wanted to do correctly:). -----Original Message----- From: Jiøí Mareš [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 5, 2003 1:42 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Date validation and format Hi all, I have question to date validation. In validation.xml I specified the field folowing way: <field property="when" depends="required,date"> <arg0 key="demand.when" resource="true" name="required"/> <arg0 key="demand.when" resource="true" name="date"/> <arg1 key="${var:datePattern}" resource="false" name="date"/> <var> <var-name>datePattern</var-name> <var-value>yyyy.MM.dd</var-value> </var> </field> and everything is working, but, when I edit the field I would like to load the date frm DB and format the date the same pattern as is specified in the validation.xml. And here is my question. 1) Is it possible to specifi the var-value as the key in applicationResources to be able from application load the same value of the key. 2) Or is it possible in action read the value of the var named datePattern in validation for particular form??
