Hardy Ferentschik commented on HV-229:
--------------------------------------

Why not just rely on the URL constructor for the ConstraintValidator implementation:

{code}
	public boolean isValid(String value, ConstraintValidatorContext constraintValidatorContext) {
		if ( value == null ) {
			return true;
		}
		try {
			new java.net.URL( value );
			return true;
		}
		catch ( MalformedURLException e ) {
			return false;
		}
	}
{code}

> 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.
> Thanks!
