[Validator] Custom Validator Fails to Return to JSP

[Jerry Jalenak <Je...@LABONE.com>]

I've used the 'comparing two fields' example from Validator for a while now
without any problem.  When I brought down the 20040106 nightly build, I
noticed that several methods had been deprecated, so I dutifully changed
things over:

From:

	public static boolean comparePasswords(Object _object,
ValidatorAction _va, Field _field, ActionErrors _errors, HttpServletRequest
_request)
	
	_errors.add(_field.getKey(), Resources.getActionError(_request, _va,
_field));

To:
	public static boolean comparePasswords(Object _object,
ValidatorAction _va, Field _field, ActionMessages _messages,
HttpServletRequest _request)

	_messages.add(_field.getKey(), Resources.getActionMessage(_request,
_va, _field));

If I continue to use the 'From' form (with ActionErrors), I get NPE's on the
_errors.add; if I use the 'To' form, everything seems to work but I don't go
back to my JSP; rather, it appears to be returning null as I end up with a
blank page.

Also, before anyone asks, I do change the validator.xml to the appropriate
methodParms:

From:

	<validator name="comparePasswords" 
		classname="com.lbo.ms.v3.struts.extensions.Validator"
		method="comparePasswords" 
		methodParams="java.lang.Object,
	
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
				org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
				org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
				javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
		msg="errors.compare.passwords" />

To:

	<validator name="comparePasswords" 
		classname="com.lbo.ms.v3.struts.extensions.Validator"
		method="comparePasswords" 
		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.compare.passwords" />

I can't seem to find a bug report on this, and there doesn't seem to be much
more information on the changes on the website.  Can someone shed some light
on this?

Thanks!


PS - I would go grab a more current nightly build, but it appears that the
nightlies are failing. Has anyone looked at this?
