proposed solution Bug19161 (validateDate in validation-rules.xml)

[Michael O'Connor <m....@finalist.com>]

Hi,

This is a first-time post, so please excuse (and feel free to point out) any
transgressions of protocol on my part.

I'm developing an application with the validation framework and the 1.1-rc
version of struts, and noticed that the javascript validation doesn't work
for 'lenient' date formats (e.g. datePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy", which accepts
1/1/2003) - only the strict validation works (e.g. datePatternStrict =
"dd/MM/yyyy" which only accepts 01/01/2003).  The server-side validation
does work for lenient datePatterns, I'm only talking about the client-side
validation here.

I searched Bugzilla and only saw a related bug 13239, that validateDate
won't validate uncommon formats such as "yyyy/MM".

I've submitted a solution (the patch is attached to the 19161 bug report),
which solves both problems (for me ;).

Hope this is useful!
