[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HV-14) Minor typo in regular expression in class EmailValidator

Minor typo in regular expression in class EmailValidator -------------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-14 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-14 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Components: validators Affects Versions: 3.0.0.ga Reporter: Talal Al-Tamimi Assignee: Diego Plentz Priority: Trivial Fix For: 3.0.1, 3.1.0.CR1 It looks like there is a small mistake in the regular expression below from class EmailValidator: private static String ATOM = "[^\\x00-\\x1F^\\(^\\)^\\<^\\>^\\@^\\,^\\(;^\\:^\\\\^\\\"^\\.^\\[^\\]^\\s]"; The substring to exclude a semicolon should be "^\\;" but above it is shown as "^\\(;" Instead of excluding a semicolon, this will exclude the left parenthesis (which is already done earlier in the regular expression) and allow a semicolon. Also, the initialize method is instantiating instance variable 'pattern' twice. The first seems to be an older line of code, so it might be a good idea to comment it out. This is not a bug though, since the first instance is just discarded.
