A user kept getting an email validation error when entering his email address (ex: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) on one of our sites that uses Struts. Apparently, the Struts email validation doesn't like the 4 character domain qualifier (.info in this case - I believe there may be others).I looked in validateEmail.js which is in commons-validator.jar and found the following code: var domArr=domain.match(atomPat); var len=domArr.length; if ((domArr[domArr.length-1].length < 2) || (domArr[domArr.length-1].length > 3)) { return false; } if (len < 2) { return false; } It looks like any domain qualifier greater than 3 is returning false in the checkEmail function. Is this a bug and/or can I extract the validateEmail.js file and make the change and then re-jar commons-validator.jar? I searched the archives and didn't find any mention of this.
I'd call that a bug; the restriction to 2-3 character TLDs is outdated. I would suggest filing an enhancement request against Commons Validator for that. Modifying your local copy of validateEmail.js as you suggest would be a reasonable work-around in the meantime, although if the same restriction exists in the Java (server-side) validation logic, you'd need to fix it there too and re-compile.
