Description

You have two validated fields in a form, both of which have "required" as a
validation, and one of which has a mask as a validation. The one which is
only required is field2, the one with "required,mask" is field1.

If field2 is blank and field1 has a value that fails the mask, no error is
generated for field1.

If field2 is non-blank, field1 is validated properly.

TEST CASE

If you put the following in struts-config:

<form-bean name="testForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="field1" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="field2" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>

<action type="<someaction>" name="testForm"
path="/testAction" input="/testAction.jsp" validate="true"/>

And the following in your validation.xml
<form name="testForm">
<field
property="field1"
depends="required,mask">
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>^[a-z]</var-value>
</var>
</field>
<field
property="field2"
depends="required">
</field>
</form>

And testAction.jsp has:
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-template.tld" prefix="tmp" %>

<html:errors/>
<html:form action="/testAction">
Field 1: <html:text property="field1"/><BR>
Field 2: <html:text property="field2"/><BR>
<html:submit/>
</html:form>
