[commons-validator] Upgrade issues

[O'Shea, Sean]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to commons-validator 1.3 and jakarta-oro 2.0.8 in my
struts 1.2.9 application. I was previously using commons-validator
1.1.4, struts 1.2.7 and jakarta-oro 2.0.6

After the upgrade, I notice I get this error any time I try to validate
using the email validator:

[Servlet Error]-[org.apache.oro.text.regex.Util: method
substitute(Ljava/lang/StringBuffer&#59;Lorg/apache/oro/text/regex/Pa
tternMatcher&#59;Lorg/apache/oro/text/regex/Pattern&#59;Lorg/apache/oro/

ava:256)
        at
org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks.validateEmail(FieldChecks.java:7
78)

The stripComments() method looks like this:

    protected String stripComments(String emailStr)  {
     String input = emailStr;
     String result = emailStr;
     String commentPat =
"s/^((?:[^\"\\\\]|\\\\.)*(?:\"(?:[^\"\\\\]|\\\\.)*\"(?:[^\"\\\\]|\111111
\\\\.)*)*)\\((?:[^()\\\\]|\\\\.)*\\)/$1 /osx";
     Perl5Util commentMatcher = new Perl5Util();
     result = commentMatcher.substitute(commentPat,input);
     // This really needs to be =~ or Perl5Matcher comparison
     while (!result.equals(input)) {
        input = result;
        result = commentMatcher.substitute(commentPat,input);
     }
     return result;
    }

The error occurs when it hits result =
commentMatcher.substitute(commentPat,input); line.

Has this happened to anyone else? It appears to be some kind of version
clashing issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Sean O Shea
