Re: DynaValidatorForm not getting validated by struts validation plugin -(note this is a DynaValidatorForm not a DynaActionForm :-D)
thanks for your reply-
i think validate=true is default - i added it in just in case though,
but it made no difference...
i wonder if it has to do with the validation occuring in a module. I had
a quick look at the source for DynaValidatorForm and it uses the
ServletContext in there - I'm not an expert (at all), but could that
mean that it's ignoring the module bit of Struts and therefor getting
all of the paths and mappings wrong? I'm going to try it out using the
root module and see if that works...
