Ken Egervari commented on HV-229:
---------------------------------

The main problem with that, is then people have to provide database mappings between URL and String, and then provide more mappings between the domain object and http request parameters. Honestly, I know in my cases, I don't care to use any of the methods on URL object from within java, not to mention they just throw checked exceptions anyway. I am purely only interested in validation on a string, as the link will be clickable by other people whenever it's presented on the view. Other than that, it has no programmatic uses.

> 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.
