I have the following Regex in Java
[A-Za-z0-9]+([_.*-]?[A-Za-z0-9]+)[EMAIL PROTECTED]([.-]?[A-Za-z0-9]+)*
Any tips to convert so that it will work with ORO.
Yes; use the 'email' built-in validator rule from commons-validator.
I'm not very familiar with ORO so I can't comment on that. I will agree
with Dave's comment for two reasons:
1) it's there and so why invent the wheel
2) your regexp above will fail to match some legal email names, again
pushing me towards (1) - someone else has already done the work
For interest, last time I read the RFC (sorry I can't recall the #) the
local part of the name is supposed to be interpreted by the owning email
system only, all other sending and forwarding agents should make no
assumptions about what is or can be in the local part (the part before
the @). So there are many other characters that can legally appear. If I
have to do my own regexp I typically use something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[A-Za-z0-9_-]. etc
