[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - @Pattern doesn't accept null.

Hi, In my application I am using @Pattern annotation. It is working fine but If I am keep that property value as null, then I am getting Hibernate Validator Failed exception. And One more thing 'email1' property is nullable. | @Pattern(regex = ".+@.+\\.[a-z]+") | private String email1; | Exception : | Caused by: org.hibernate.validator.InvalidStateException: validation failed for: de.bonprix.orderstarter.model.entity.Supplier | at org.hibernate.validator.event.ValidateEventListener.validate(ValidateEventListener.java:143) | at org.hibernate.validator.event.ValidateEventListener.onPreUpdate(ValidateEventListener.java:172) | at org.hibernate.action.EntityUpdateAction.preUpdate(EntityUpdateAction.java:217) | at org.hibernate.action.EntityUpdateAction.execute(EntityUpdateAction.java:65) | at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.execute(ActionQueue.java:248) | at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.executeActions(ActionQueue.java:232) | at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.executeActions(ActionQueue.java:140) | at org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractFlushingEventListener.performExecutions(AbstractFlushingEventListener.java:298) | at org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultFlushEventListener.onFlush(DefaultFlushEventListener.java:27) | at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.flush(SessionImpl.java:1000) | at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.managedFlush(SessionImpl.java:338) | at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl$1.beforeCompletion(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:515) | ... 84 more Temporarily I resolved this problem by writting Own Email Validator. So I thing this might be bug. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4059625#...
