----------------------------------------
Summary: Flag in getInstance for tld has no influence on actual
behavior
Key: VALIDATOR-385
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-385
Project: Commons Validator
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.5.1
Reporter: Yannick Gladow
Hello,
I recently stumbled over an error validating an email in our system.
A client could not register, although his tld was recently added to the valid
ones. After updating to the newest version of commons-validator the whitelist
was updated and the problem gone, but I still wondered why the tld was even
checked in the first place. The flag for that was set to false.
I checked the EmailValidator and DomainValidator code and came to the
conclusion, that the parameter allowTld (in getInstance) has no influence on
the fact if tld's are checked, they seem to be checked in any case in the
DomainValidator isValid() -> isValidTld method.
