Validating a date using Struts
Hoi all,
I am trying to validate a date in struts,
I have googled for a information and searched the forum but didn't find anything useful, I might have been asking the wrong questions.
I have set up my validate.xml and it captures a date that is like : aa/01/3000 and returns an error specifying that the date is wrong but when i type in 45/01/3000 the date is accepted as a valid date and I cannot understands why, the date validation is built in isn抰 it ?
Any help will be appreciated

Uhmmm i don抰 have it sorted.......
I have been trying to validate a specific date that info can be seen in my original post on top, This is what i have so far in my Validation.xml file
<form name="searchForm">
<field property="startDate" depends="date">
<arg0 >
<var><var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name><var-value>dd/MM/yyyy</var-value></var>
</field>
<field property="endDate" depends="date">
<var><var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name><var-value>dd/MM/yyyy</var-value></var>
</field>
<field property="endDate" depends="validwhenDate" >
<var>
<var-name>test</var-name>
<var-value>(startEndDateCompare!= -1)</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>
endDate and startDate are both strings and the startEndDateCompare is a method in the searchForm.java file that compares the parsed date values of the string dates of endDate and startDate via a simple date format, If this doesn抰 make sense let me know and I'll try to elaborate
now my questions is what am I doing wrong?
The validation still registers that 01/aa/3000 is an invalid date but not 45/01/3000 this is still validated as a correct date.
Thank for any help.
