Class RegExpValidator

java.lang.Object
  weblogicx.jsp.tags.validators.CustomizableAdapter
      weblogicx.jsp.tags.validators.RegExpValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Customizable

public class RegExpValidator
extends CustomizableAdapter

The RegExpValidator is used for validating regular expressions. Under the hood it uses the org.apache.oro.text.regexp package for regexp validation. if an exact match is found the validate method returns true if the string value passed is a "", then the RegExpValidator returns true. This is done to prevent duplicate validation on the field in case the RequiredFieldValidator is also used.

It is thus recommended to use the RequiredFieldValidator along with the RegExpValidator, Serialized Form
