Validation causes nullPointerError
I have a field validation code segment that was working fine in our 5.0 implementation, but when I migrate it to 5.5 sp1 I get a null pointer exception. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this? Basically I want to ensure the user has answered at least two security questions.
<Validation>
<cond>
<lt>
<length>
<ref>waveset.questions[*].answer</ref>
</length>
<i>2</i>
</lt>
<s>_FM_USER_QUESTION_MSG</s>
</cond>
</Validation>
Thank you,

In IdM 5.0, this worked:
<Field>
<Validation>
<cond>
<lt>
<length>
<ref>waveset.questions[*].answer</ref>
</length>
<i>2</i>
</lt>
<s>_FM_USER_QUESTION_MSG</s>
</cond>
</Validation>
<FieldLoop for='name' in='waveset.questions[*].name'>
<Field>
<Field>
<Display class='Label'>
<Property name='text'>
<ref>waveset.questions[$(name)].question</ref>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
<Field name='waveset.questions[$(name)].answer'>
<Display class='Text'>
<Property name='secret'>
<Boolean>true</Boolean>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
</Field>
</FieldLoop>
</Field>
For some reason, it needs to look like this for IdM 5.5 to work:
<Field>
<FieldLoop for='name' in='waveset.questions[*].name'>
<Field>
<Field>
<Display class='Label'>
<Property name='text'>
<ref>waveset.questions[$(name)].question</ref>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
<Field name='waveset.questions[$(name)].answer'>
<Display class='Text'>
<Property name='secret'>
<Boolean>true</Boolean>
</Property>
</Display>
<Validation>
<cond>
<lt>
<length>
<ref>waveset.questions[*].answer</ref>
</length>
<i>2</i>
</lt>
<s>_FM_USER_QUESTION_MSG</s>
</cond>
</Validation>
</Field>
</Field>
</FieldLoop>
</Field>
I was worried that would print the same message multiple times for each field in the loop, but it
doesn't.
