re[2]: maxlength validator implies required???

[Max Kremer <mk...@datastay.com>]

Thats exactly what it was. The maxlength entry in my validator-rules.xml had a depends entry: 
depends="required" 
I changed that and it now works the way I intended. Thanks for your help!!


>>  Take a look at the maxlength definition inside validator-rules.xml.

>>  <validator name="maxlength"
>>  classname="org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks"
>>  method="validateMaxLength"
>>  methodParams="java.lang.Object,
>>  org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
>>  org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
>>  org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
>>  javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
>>  depends=""
>>  msg="errors.maxlength">

>>  Does your "depends" specify "required"?

>>  <var-value>300</var-value>
>>  </var>
>>  </field>
