Just how cooked is Struts Validation at this point?

[James Turner <tu...@blackbear.com>]

How ready to use do people consider the validation portion of Struts right 
now?  I'm basing this question on having spent several hours trying to get 
it installed, and discovering that:

1) It required commons-validator
2) commons-validator has never been made available as a binary
3) Building the nightly commons dist is an adventure

Personally, I don't feel comfortable using or recommending software based 
on a package (commons-validator) still classified as pre-release.  Does 
anyone have a feel for when this code is going to enter a stable phase?

Thanks,
James

I've used it in 1.1b quite a bit and find it very stable and have used it 
in more than just trivial examples. I also know or several large projects 
using it, both within Struts and in the business components. No issues. I 
would recommend using it.

For what that's worth,
Chuck

Well maybe you should go with Struts 1.1b  We've been using this for a while now
and haven't run into any major issues.   I think you're complicating your
problem by trying to roll your own from the nightly which is in transition on
several fronts.  IMHO if you go with 1.1b and you'll be a much happier camper.
