I have gotten the validator to work in may of my projects, but I am
stuck on this one and was wondering if someone can help.
I have a MessageResources.properties under WEB-INF/classes which
contains all the messages.
In my struts-config I have the following line
<message-resources key="messages" parameter="MessageResources" />
Here is my validation.xml
    <form name="/showConfirmCompletedCourses">
       <field
          property="selectedCategory"
          depends="required">
            <arg key="label.Category"/>
       </field>
       <field
          property="startDate"
          depends="required,date">
            <arg key="label.StartDate"/>
               <var>
               <var-name>datePattern</var-name>
               <var-value>MM/dd/yyyy</var-value>
           </var>
       </field>
    </form>
I also tried putting <arg bundle="messages" key="label.Category"/>
I always get an exception when I validate. I call the form.validate
from my action class, I always get the following exception

2007-03-21 12:41:36,437] [location -
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction.executeValidationMethod (ValidatorAction.java:578)]
