Sebb resolved VALIDATOR-256.
----------------------------
Resolution: Incomplete
It's not clear what the requirement is here.
> StringUtils.isText to check in a null safe way if a String has (real) text

> Key: VALIDATOR-256
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-256
> Project: Commons Validator
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jörg Gottschling
> Priority: Minor
>
> I used something similar from the Spring Framework and it was useful. I
> suggest two methods where the second is a little more advanced then theirs.
> First a method StringUtils.isText(String text) : boolean which checks if the
> String is not null and contains a least one not whitespace character. (In
> Spring it's "hasText", but "isText" seams to be more consistent within
> commons lang.)
> The second method could be StringUtils.isText(String text, int n) : boolean
> which checks if the String is not null and contains a least n not whitespace
> characters.
> Question: What happens if a (stupid ;-) developer checks for -5 characters? I
> think it should throw an IllegalArgumentException.
