Validator classes and validator-rules.xml

I'm getting an odd exception:

2004-03-08 11:19:41,405 ERROR [org.apache.commons.validator.Validator] reflection: org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks.validateRequired(java.lang.Object, org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction, org.apache.commons.validator.Field, org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks.validateRequired(java.lang.Object, org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction, org.apache.commons.validator.Field, org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)
       at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:978)
        at org.apache.commons.validator.Validator.executeValidationMethod(Validator.java:501)
        at org.apache.commons.validator.Validator.validateFieldForRule(Validator.java:424)
        at org.apache.commons.validator.Validator.validateField(Validator.java:669)
        at org.apache.commons.validator.Validator.validate(Validator.java:745)
        at org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm.validate(DynaValidatorForm.java:150)

The parameter list shown in the NoSuchMethodException appears to match
the validator-rules.xml file:

     <validator name="required"
            classname="org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks"
               method="validateRequired"
         methodParams="java.lang.Object,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
                       org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
                       org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessages,
                       javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
                  msg="errors.required"/>

apart from the fourth parameter (ActionMessages vs ActionErrors) but
this is probably OK since ActionErrors is a subclass of
ActionMessages.

This parameter list also matches the javadoc.

NB: This is the Nightly Build binary download !!! I can't recall why -
just that I had a bug in the stable build that was fixed in the
nightly's. However - I've just changed from the old nightly to
20040306 (20040307 seems to be 163 bytes long) to test - and the same
problem with validation occurs.

Any hints anyone?

I think I might have had this and found that changing to ActionMessages 
did solve it, even though it seems unnecessary.  This was one of last 
week's builds. I don't think that reflection process takes inheritance 
into account.
