[jira] Commented: (VALIDATOR-193) Removing ORO dep. from GenericValidator

["Niall Pemberton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-193?page=comments#action_12418889 ] 

Niall Pemberton commented on VALIDATOR-193:
-------------------------------------------

EmailValidator and UrlValidator also use Jakarta ORO and there are static validation methods for both of these in GenericValidator.

These are both quite complex, using multiple regular expressions to parse and validate and converting them wil be more involved than the "mask" validator in GenericValidator or the ISBNValidator.

Email validator also uses Perl5Util.substitute() method to strip comments (see EmailValidator.stripComments() method) which from the ORO JavaDoc says its in "native perl format" - how straight forward this will be to convert I have no idea:
