Well actually, the regexps I proposed aren't equivalent to yours:
yours will match passwords containing non-alphanumeric chars (provided
they contain at least a number and a letter), while mine will only
match passwords containing *only* numbers and letters.
But given that you already checked the input length, why not just
search for those chars that your expecting? Something like:
if (!text.matches(".*\\d.*") || !text.matches(".*[a-z].*")) { ... }
If I were you, I'd try using JSNI too:
private native boolean matchesPasswordFormat(String text) /*-{
return /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z]).{8,15}$/.test(text);
}-*/;
or
private native boolean matchesPasswordFormat(String text) /*-{
return text.search(/\d/) >= 0 && text.search(/[a-z]/) >= 0;
}-*/;
