[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HV-339) ^ not allowed in Email

^ not allowed in Email ---------------------- Key: HV-339 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-339 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Components: validators Affects Versions: 4.1.0.CR1 Environment: hibernate-validator-4.1.0.CR1 Reporter: Tim Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Priority: Minor The email validator rejects emails with ^ in them. According to the rfc-2822 spec they should be allowed. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html I believe the regex is incorrect. private static String ATOM = "[^\\x00-\\x1F^\\(^\\)^\\<^\\>^\\@^\\,^\\;^\\:^\\\\^\\\"^\\.^\\[^\\]^\\s]"; There should only be one ^ all the others are not needed and cause the ^ character to be invalid. I believe it should be: private static String ATOM = "[^\\x00-\\x1F\\(\\)\\<\\>\\@\\,\\;\\:\\\\\\\"\\.\\[\\]\\s]"; // ======== Test Case ========= import junit.framework.TestCase; import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.impl.EmailValidator; import org.junit.Test; public class TestEmailValidator extends TestCase { @Test public void testAccent(){ EmailValidator emailValidator = new EmailValidator(); boolean result = emailValidator.isValid(&quot;Test^Email(a)example.com&quot;, null); assertTrue(result); } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
