Ok, I think I have the solution to my own problem. Since reviewdate
is a date field, I was using the s:date tag in my jsp, like this:
<s:date name="moviereview.reviewdate" format="%
{getText('struts.date.format')}" id="reviewdateFormatted"/>
<s:textfield value="%{reviewdateFormatted}"
name="moviereview.reviewdate" size="12" maxlength="10"/
I gather that reviewdate can't be set properly when I use the date tag
like this since what's being repopulated most likely won't be a valid
date.
To get around this, I just added a test for the presence of
fielderrors before using the s:date tag. If none are there, then use
the date tag. If it is there, then just display the reviewdate field
directly.

Hello. I am having a problem getting "repopulateField" to work. In
short, I have added date validation to one of my actions. In my
validation xml file, I have this:
<field name="moviereview.reviewdate">
<field-validator type="conversion" short-circuit="true">
<param name="repopulateField">true</param>
<message>Date of Review entered is not a valid date.</message>
</field-validator>
<field-validator type="date">
<param name="min">01/01/2007</param>
<param name="max">12/31/2008</param>
<message>Date of Review is out of range. </message>
</field-validator>
</field>
My problem is that "repopulateField" is not actually repopulating
the moviereview.reviewdate field on a conversion error. The field
is blank.
In my action, I have a "moviereview" object that has a getter and
setter (i.e. "setMoviereview() and getMoviereview()"). So,
"reviewdate" is a Date that belongs to that parent object. I don't
know if that's related at all, though.
Any idea why this isn't working?
