Ken Egervari commented on HV-229:
---------------------------------
I think something like this is okay if it's not back-compatible. I think 4.0 is a new
release, it should provide new features that break away from the old code-base. If we do
things in the name of backwards-compatibility all the time, then the library won't
evolve to meet the needs of the future. Seeing that something like @Email was put in,
I'm kind of wondering why @Url was not put in at the same time. Even so, it's not
important to ask this question. @Url would make a wonderful addition to the library. Just
about anyone downloading 4.0 will probably use it.
@Url needs to be added

Key: HV-229
URL:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-229
Project: Hibernate Validator
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: validators
Affects Versions: 3.1.0.GA
Reporter: Ken Egervari
Fix For: 4.1.0
Original Estimate: 2 hours
Remaining Estimate: 2 hours
It would be nice to have a @Url constraint. This is a very common use-case. The regular
expression itself is tedious to write - there are tons of versions online. There could be
options to allow for mailto: and others, to make it stronger or looser as needed by the
application. However, a basic one would be a great addition to the library as lots and
lots of users will need this to be sure.
Thanks!
