Hi there. I am a relative newbie to struts and I am experiencing problems validating date fields in my forms. The validation is working on String fields (length, mask etc) but the date fields are apparently escaping validation and I get sql errors as the data is rejected by a MySQL database.
I have removed the validate() method from my Action Form, which extends ValidatorForm. My code in validation.xml is as follows:
<field property="tour.endAt"
          depends="required,date">
          <arg0 key="tourform.endAt"/>
          <var>
                  <var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name>
                  <var-value>yyyy-MM-dd</var-value>
                 </var>
</field>
This is a most perplexing problem and any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
