Description

In my i18n application using Struts 1.1-b2, I've used the locale object (using
the variant) provided to pick different validations rules.

After upgrading to 1.1-b3, using version 1.0 of commons validator, the
validations that used to work are now throwing null pointer exceptions (when i
turn off validation for the specific form in struts-config everything works)

I was reading the DTD for the 1.0 version of the Commons Validator
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_0.dtd, and noticed that the
formset element, no longer takes in the VARIANT as an attribute. I was
wondering why that was taken out or if it is taken out, or is there a mistake
in the DTD?

I know 1.1b-3 still supports the locale w/ variant as all of my
ApplicationResources.properties files with variants are being picked up, what
changed in the the Validator? Please take a look.

Thanks,

-Jeremy
