Frederic Boutin created VALIDATOR-449:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: Leading and trailing spaces in EmailValidator should not
be valid
Key: VALIDATOR-449
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-449
Project: Commons Validator
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Routines
Affects Versions: 1.6
Reporter: Frederic Boutin
I feel that:
EmailValidator.getInstance(true).isValid(" [email protected] ");
should return false, but the regex used in EmailValidator matches this string.
Furthermore, the following user + domain validation is done only on "some" and
"email.com", respectively. This is because the regex captures the user and
domain without the space.
I know the documentation states : "This implementation is not guaranteed to
catch all possible errors in an email address" but, I think this case is simple
enough to be in the validator.
