[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-11531) Client side validation: regexp ignores whitespace at the beginning

[Brian Leathem (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11531?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12635886#comment-12635886 ] 

Brian Leathem commented on RF-11531:
------------------------------------

There is still the issue that when the pattern is "[a-z].*", the server and client side behave differently.  There are two solutions as I see it:
# Always prepend a "^" character in the javascript regex (if it isn't already present)
# File an upstream issue with Bean Validation

Further discussion is required, I'll bring it up in the developer forums.

> Let "[a-z].*" is expected regexp and input value is " a". The value shouldn't pass the validation, but it passes.
