Take a look at the maxlength definition inside validator-rules.xml.
<validator name="maxlength"
classname="org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks"
method="validateMaxLength"
methodParams="java.lang.Object,
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
depends=""
msg="errors.maxlength">
Does your "depends" specify "required"?

Subject: maxlength validator implies required???
Hi,
I'm using the maxlength validator as follows in validator.xml
<field
property="description"
depends="maxlength">
<arg0 key="prompt.description"/>
<arg1 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/>
<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
<var-value>300</var-value>
</var>
</field>
But for some reason when the field is left blank the validator returns a message that
the field is required even though I am NOT using the required validator. Does
maxlength IMPLY required???? Has anybody else experienced this behaviour?
Regards,
Max Kremer
