[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Issue Comment Edited: (HV-490) Create @SafeHtml annotation

Create @SafeHtml annotation --------------------------- Key: HV-490 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-490 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 4.2.0.CR1 Reporter: George Gastaldi Fix For: 4.2.0.Final According to Shane Brizak statement on seam-dev list: {quote} Hi Gunnar, I had an idea today for a new validation constraint called @WebSafe - in summary what it would do is validate a rich text value provided by the user to ensure that it contains no malicious code, such as embedded <script> elements. The implementation for this would use JTidy to convert the value to a DOM tree, after which it would walk the nodes of the tree and locate any <script> tags, and if any are present the validation would fail. Anyway, the implementation isn't so important - what I was wondering though is whether you think something like this would be useful to have in the Seam Validation module. I tend to think that it would be (and we can probably come up with quite a few other useful validation constraints also) but I would like to know what you think about this. Shane {quote}
