Re: [OT] Help with REgular Expressions in Validate()
Woops, that's me not reading the original post carefully!

Or better yet, ^\\W+$, if whitespace is the only thing you want to
exclude; your original expression says 'match one more non-whitespace
characters', so with the input 'My Name' the expression matches 'My'.
What you want to say is that the entire input must match \\W+, hence the
^/$.

I have a small swing application (setup on webstart) for testing regular
expressions here:
http://lili.net/java/test-regex.jnlp
Or I can send you the code to test it yourself if you wish. it won't
fix your problem but it's a handy tool for narrowing it down.

Hi all
I markled this OT because it's not a Struts question strictly speaking.
what I'm trying to do is disallow names that contain spaces or special
characters in the validate() method of my ActionForm
Code:
String pattern = \\W+;
log.debug(Testing validity of name +name+ against +pattern);
if (name!=null){
if (name.matches(pattern)) {
log.info(Naming Convention Violated);
e = new ActionError(error.create.portfolio.name.error);
errors.add(,new ActionError(error.create.portfolio.name.error));
}else{
log.debug(Valid name chosen);
}
}
What am I missing?!?!?! I always get valid name chosen
Again, I want to allow MyNAme and disallow My Name or MyName! (due
to
spaces or special characters
