Struts 1.2.9 is compatible with Validator 1.3.0 (I have that deployed in production) .
Validator 1.3.0 was primarily a bug fix for Validator 1.2.0 and was going to be version 1.2.1 - but as there was a whole set of new classes (which don't currently affect Struts because it doesn't use them) other Commons developers wanted a more significant version number change. From memory, one issue in Validator 1.2.0 caused problems with compatibility with older validator DTD versions, so I would defintely recommend 1.3.0, rather than 1.2.0. The reason Struts 1.2.9 didn't ship with Validator 1.2.0 at the time was because there was a new feature (variables in resource bundles) in Validator 1.2.0 which Struts 1.2.9 didn't support. Struts 1.3.x does support it and will ship with Validator 1.3.0 http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/ValidatorVersion120 Niall On 6/29/06, Adam Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I think I've answered the first part of my question: looking in the commons-validator.jar file that comes with Struts 1.2.9, the class files are dated 12 NOV 2004 and the source package for validator 1.1.4 on the mirrors have the same date, so I think I can assume that Struts 1.2.9 comes with version 1.1.4 of the validator. This begs the question as to why there's versions 1.2.0 and 1.3.0 of the validator when Struts isn't using it. Are there other uses for the validator framework besides struts? I'm still looking for an answer to the second half of my question (about any ramifications of throwing validator 1.3.0 into Struts 1.2.9) if anyone knows. Thanks, -Adam -----Original Message----- From: Adam Gordon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 29 June 2006 09:05 To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Quick Struts/Validator version question Hi- Quick question: What is the version of the commons-validator that comes with Struts 1.2.8 and 1.2.9? Also, if, for Struts 1.2.9, the version of the validator is not 1.3.0, would there be any problems if I were to replace the commons-validator.jar file that comes with Struts 1.2.9 w/ the one that comes with validator 1.3.0? I hope that was clear.
