Hi,
I have an email validation regex where the mvel matches doesn't seem to
work. I have created 2 rules where test1 uses the Java String matches
and test2 uses the mvel matches. Test1 works but test2 doesn't. I am
using Drools 4.0.3 and JDK 1.6.0_02.
rule "Test1"
when
// This works
email : String()
eval( !email.matches(
"^[a-zA-Z0-9\\!\\#\\$\\%\\&\\'\\*\\+\\-\\/\\=\\?\\^\\_\\`\\{\\|\\}\\~]+(
\\.[a-zA-Z0-9\\!\\#\\$\\%\\&\\'\\*\\+\\-\\/\\=\\?\\^\\_\\`\\{\\|\\}\\~]+
)*@[a-zA-Z0-9]([a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]([a-zA-Z0-9
-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$" ) )
then
System.out.println( "1-Invalid Email Address: " + email );
end
rule "Test2"
when
// This doesn't work
email : String( toString not matches
"^[a-zA-Z0-9\\!\\#\\$\\%\\&\\'\\*\\+\\-\\/\\=\\?\\^\\_\\`\\{\\|\\}\\~]+(
\\.[a-zA-Z0-9\\!\\#\\$\\%\\&\\'\\*\\+\\-\\/\\=\\?\\^\\_\\`\\{\\|\\}\\~]+
)*@[a-zA-Z0-9]([a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]([a-zA-Z0-9
-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$" )
then
System.out.println( "2-Invalid Email Address: " + email );
end
Here's the output using email addresses x.x at x.com (valid) and x.xx.com
(invalid):
test1-Invalid Email Address: x.xx.com
test2-Invalid Email Address: x.x at x.com
test2-Invalid Email Address: x.xx.com
The regex expressions are exactly the same. Am I doing something wrong
here?
Thanks,
Len
