EMail validator

[davsclaus]

Hi

Browsing the code in the org.springframework.validation I do not see an email validator?

I am looking for an email validator to use in my business logic layer. Is commons-validator the best option?

Currently the validaton support in Spring is only framework level - that is there is a hook for providing a validator to the MVC framework but there are no helper classes.

You would be best of using Commons Validator as a solution for now, plus it looks like commons validator is forming the base of the new validation support that is in the sandbox now.

Thanks Rob

Sadly our project uses SLSB and thus classloading and classpaths are not an easy task deploying to WebSphere.

So my collegue ended up doing a java.net.INetAddress constrcut and catching the exception in case of failure. Avoiding adding more .jar files in the MANIFEST.MF file.
