validators:pattern=<somepattern>   does not support useful regex patterns
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: TAPESTRY-858
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-858
     Project: Tapestry
        Type: Bug
  Components: Framework  
    Versions: 4.0    
 Environment: All
    Reporter: Sean Scott


ValidatorFactoryImpl.constructValidatorList   uses a regular expression to 
parse the validators configuration string.  The configuration string can 
contain the type pattern=<some regular expression>.  If the regular expression 
contains a [ character (like most do) then the validators string is not 
processed correctly.


Currently:
    private static final String PATTERN = 
"^\\s*(\\$?\\w+)\\s*(=\\s*(((?!,|\\[).)*))?";

Perhaps it can be changed so that the regex has start with ^ and end with $ and 
thus maybe a PATTERN like
^\s*(\$?\w+)\s*(=(\^.*\$)|(\s*(((?!,|\[).)*)))?
can be used.


To test, try using this value
validators="validators:required,pattern=(0[1-9]|1[012])/(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/(19|20)\d\d"
(mm/dd/yyyy)
