Subject: Struts Validator


Has anyone had any problems getting the Struts Validator to work?
 
I have a small sample app that works OK but cannot get my main app to work!
As far as I can see I have done everything the same as in the sample one.
 
I have noticed that when the sample app that works starts up I get four
messages from the ValidatorPlugin the first pair mentions the validation.xml
and the validator-rules.xml then later it says ValidatorPlugin initResources
then the previous xml messages. 
 
With the real app that doesn't work I don't get these second initResources
messages. I am not sure if this is significant or not, does anyone have any
ideas?
 
I have: -
 
  <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
    <set-property
      property="pathnames"
      value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
  </plug-in>
 
in my struts-config
 
and 
 
      <form name="ValidationType">
        <field
          property="code"
          depends="required">
          <arg0 key="validationCode.code"/>
        </field>
        <field
          property="constant"
          depends="required,integer">
          <arg0 key="validationCode.constant"/>
        </field>
      </form>
 
in my validation.xml
 
validator-rules.xml are default
 
my formbean is extending ValidatorActionForm
 
and my action mapping is
 
    <action
      path="/ValidationType"
      name="validationTypeForm"
      input="/jsp/validationtype/validationType.jsp"
      type="com.mycompany.ValidationTypeAction"
      scope="session">
      <forward name="Success" path="/jsp/success.jsp" redirect="true"/>
      <forward name="Failure" path="/jsp/failure.jsp" redirect="true"/>
    </action>
 
I am using Struts 1.1 with Tomcat 4.1.24 on XP
 
Can anyone help?
 
Thanks
 
Steve
