[validator-plugin] MASK_VALIDATOR

[Matthias Wessendorf <ma...@matthias-wessendorf.de>]

Hi there,

what is the reason, the mask need to start with "^"
and end with "$" ?

-->
<var-name>
  mask
</var-name>
<var-value>
^[a-zA-Z]*$
</var-value>

possible to turn off?

Cheers,

Because Commons Validator uses ORO as the regex engine.  I believe when we
move to standard Java 1.4 regexs you won't need the ^ and $.
