I updated from CVS and tried it - incorporating the changes listed in =20=

changelog.txt.  Here's what I had to change to migrate from the =20
previous version (which mainly required package-name changes).

BeanValidator -> DefaultBeanValidator
Remove init-method attribute from ValidatorFactory
Change "resources" property on ValidatorFactory to =20
"validationConfigLocations"

Everything seems to work great.  Are there any additional changes you =20=

plan on making before the 0.1 release?

One thing I noticed in Validator 1.1.3 is that much of the JavaScript =20=

is generated from code inside the JAR, rather than a =20
validator-rules.xml file.  I'm guessing validator-rules.xml is still =20
required for Spring integration? Yep, answered my own question: leaving =20=

it out results in:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Depends string "required" was not found =20=

in validator-rules.xml.
	at =20
org.springmodules.commons.validator.taglib.JavascriptValidatorTag.doStar=20=

tTag(JavascriptValidatorTag.java:334)

Maybe this file should be included in the release somehow - or we =20
should figure out a way to override the JavaScript that's generated =20
from inside commons-validator.jar?  The guys on the validator list are =20=

pretty friendly, so I'm guessing they'd be willing to help out with =20
this.
