IIOC, the only way you can do this with the stock validator is to use "mask" rather than "date" as the validator. Then, you can use a regex to dictate your mask. I'll warn you though, if you use a regular expression it's going to be VERY long because it will also need to validate that the date entered is valid. Additionally, the stock date validator accepts dates like 30 FEB YYYY and just rolls it to the appropriate March date. Here's the REGEX we use (note that the regex is all on one line with no spaces:
<var> <var-name>mask</var-name> <var-value>^(((0?[1-9]|1[012])/(0?[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])|(0?[13456789]|1[012])/(2 9|30)|(0?[13578]|1[02])/31)/(20)((0[6-9])|(10))|0?2/29/((20)(0[48])))$</var- value> </var> Alternatively, you can override the validate method in your ValidatorForm and do it yourself - which given your requirements, sounds like the easier of the two options. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: Scott Van Wart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 02 August 2006 14:59 To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Accepting multiple date masks with the "date" validator I have a requirement in my project that I be able to accept two different date masks. One with slashes (thus, 10 characters) and one without (8 digits). Is there any way to do this with the stock date validator, or do I need to roll my own wrapper?
