Preston, 1. Did the problem occur after a web application server (Jetty, Tomcat, JBoss, etc.) shutdown/startup cycle or while the application was running uninterrupted?
2. Have you changed ANY jar files in the webapp or any class files? Anything which could have caused a spontaneous webapp reload? The log files in your container should indicate a shutdown/restart. 3. I see your action is listed (in a previous post) as with the form name "loginForm". Does that form extend ValidatorActionForm? And what is your struts-config.xml form-bean definition? 4. Are there any other developers for this site? 5. What are the file datestamps/timestamps on teh web.xml, struts-config.xml, validation.xml, validator-rules.xml, etc. Are they recent (as in someone might have modified them before the last webapp restart) or dated months ago (indicating no recent changes) ?

The form is.... <formset> <form name="loginForm"> <field property="username" depends="required"> <arg key="loginForm.username"/> </field> <field property="password" depends="required,mask"> <arg key="loginForm.password"/> <var> <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^[0-9a-zA-Z]*$</var-value> </var> </field> </form> I did turn up debugging on log4j.logger.org.apache.commons.validator and log4j.logger.org.apache.struts and the interesting thing is that I don't see the form validation getting built or initialized. What would that look like? I wonder why that would not be occurring. Preston >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/8/2005 3:23 PM >>> On 11/8/05, Preston CRAWFORD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have that.

What _type_ of Action is LoginSubmitAction and How is it configured in validation.xml? What's in the log files at application startup? Turn logging up to 'debug' and you should see the validation config files being used to configure validation for each form. If the config looks right and there's nothing interesting in the log files, try stepping through the code in a debugger. JSwat is my favorite, though I'm still getting used to the new version (and need to update the instructions...) -- Wendy http://wiki.wsmoak.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TomcatDebug --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
