Date Validation not validating 01/01/2ee0 date in struts 1.2

[Ashish <as...@samarthinfo.com>]

Hi
I am trying to add date validation in validation.xml file, i have it setup as
below, it validates properly data entry like 0A/01/2012 or 01/A2/2012
but it makes date 01/01/2ee3 to be a valid date which is clearly not,

what am i missing


<constant>
<constant-name>dateFormat</constant-name>
<constant-value>MM/dd/yyyy</constant-value>
</constant>

<field property="expirationDate" depends="required,date">
<arg key="label.expirationDate"/>
<var><var-name>datePattern</var-name><var-value>${dateFormat}</var-value></var>
</field>
