Validation messages not displaying in order

[Marc Peabody]

I know that ActionErrors holds an ArrayList to keep track of messages, so the order they were added is maintained.

It seems that the validation framework is running validation checks listed from validation.xml in whatever order it darn well pleases.

Does anyone know of a way to control this?

Is the weather too nice out? Is everyone on vacation?

I think the framework uses a HashMap to store the errors.
If you could extract the errors from this HashMap into an ArrayList, i think you should be able to get the order.
not sure, you can try.

Is there any way to get the source of the Struts Validation framework???

Upon further testing, I was able to discover that my errors are getting listed by:
1) All textboxes, in reverse order of how they appear in the html
2) All radioboxes, in reverse order of how they appear in the html

Any additional help much appreciated! Thanks!
