The Struts email validator (com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.validators.EmailValidator) does not support the '+' character. I noticed that the validator implementation is custom (using a regex). Maybe it would be better to use already existing implementation (java and apache commons have one). This was already reported [1] and resolved with version 2.3.7, with upcoming release you will be able to specify regexp for your own with ${regexExpression} _expression_ of email validator [2] (email validator extends regex validator [3]) [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3883 [2] http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/email-validator.html [3] http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/regex-validator.html Regards -- Thim Anneessens IT Department ictjob.be Tel: +32 2 725 73 00 Terhulpsesteenweg, 6B B-1560 Hoeilaart ictjob.lu Tel: +352 621 364 792 12, rue Eugène Ruppert L-2453 Luxembourg jobtic.fr Tel: +33 9 81 25 19 66 19 rue Martel 75010 Paris ticjob.es Tel: +34 911 25 43 11 Calle Santo Tomé 4, 5B 28004 Madrid ictjob.de Tel: +49 711 91 41 07 32 Humboldtstr. 32 70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen
