Class Regexp

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Validator<Pattern,​String>

    public class Regexp
    extends AbstractValidator<Pattern,​String>
    Enforces that the input matches a provided regular expression. Starting in 5.4, this always writes the pattern and title attribute, even when client validation is not enabled. The title attribute is used specially by modern browsers, in concert with pattern.

      • validate

        public void validate​(Field field,
                             Pattern constraintValue,
                             MessageFormatter formatter,

        Description copied from interface: Validator
        Invoked after the client-submitted value has been translated to check that the value conforms to expectations (often, in terms of minimum or maximum value). If and only if the value is approved by all Validators is the value applied by the field.
        Parameters:
        field - the field for which a client submitted value is being validated
        constraintValue - the value used to constrain
        formatter - Validation messages, in the appropriate locale
        value - the translated value supplied by the user
        Throws:
        ValidationException - if the value violates the constraint
