Hi, Please help me.
I am trying to force users to enter dates in the format 23/JAN/2003, therefore, I have the setting below in the validator.xml. The maxlength bit works, but date parsing does not work, for example the validator does not complain if I enter an invalid date such as 23/JJJ/1996. As you are aware, JJJ is not a valid month. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong. <field property="dob" depends="maxlength,date"> <arg0 key="cargoForm.dob"/> <arg1 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/> <var> <var-name>datePattern</var-name> <var-value>dd/MMM/yyyy</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>maxlength</var-name> <var-value>11</var-value> </var> </field> If you have any example or link to a doc, please send it.
