[hibernate-dev] [BV] Though about PatternValidator

[Alaa Mohsen]

Hello All,
     I just realized that PatternValidator checks if the String passed to it
is null or not before checking it's validity, but it doesn't check if the
String is empty. What if someone wants to put a regular expression
constraint on a non mandatory field, and the framework he uses sets this
empty field to an empty string? What do you think?
