That's good to know.

After dinner and a few drinks, I realized something: commons-validator
uses jakarta-oro as it's pattern matcher, right? Well, then my use of
the java.util.regex.Pattern pattern descriptors does me no good, then,
does it?

I'm looking for jakarta-oro's pattern syntax, but I can't seem to find a
reference to it, other than that it is "Perl 5 compatible". Perl 5 says
stuff like \p{...} works, but I'll have to look at it in more detail.
It's also possible that ORO doesn't really provide the Unicode portion
of the Perl 5 regexp pattern syntax. The project is somewhat stale...

I may also just write my own validator that uses java.util.regex and
replace the one that ships with commons-validator. I can see that in the
trunk there is such a class, but it hasn't gone into a release, yet.

I should have thought of that, what with using it with Struts and all...
but I decided to go right to the source instead. I'll check the
validator FAQs on Struts and see how they look.

Thanks,
