Hi,
I am validating a condition : Input should not contain any of these
characters &,",<,>,%,(,)
And to achieve this my RegEx is : ^[^(\&|"|<|>|%|\(|\))]+$
Also here is my code snippet from validation.xml:
<constant>
<constant-name>noSpecialCharacters</constant-name>
<constant-value>^[^(\&|"|<|>|%|\(|\))]+$</constant-value>
</constant>
But, when i add the above element to validation.xml, I get following error
message in my sandbox logs(Tomcat 5.5):
Nov 7, 2007 3:59:41 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log

One of the many tests, i did to prove that the above error is 'indeed'
because of the REGEX, i tried substituing it with following code in
validation.xml with:
<constant>
<constant-name>noSpecialCharacters</constant-name>
<constant-value>>.</constant-value>
</constant>
This time, my container does complain. My container is also happy when i
remove the problematic code completely.
I also tried to validate my REGEX -start ^[^(\&|"|<|>|%|\(|\))]+$ end- with
a 'java.util.regex' based validator, It works the way, it is supposed to.
Here is the link of the validator
"http://www.fileformat.info/tool/regex.htm";, used by me.
It can well turn out to be a simple issue, please help me in getting it to
work.
