Currently, the struts validation framework allows you to validate based on any 
number of "dependencies", among them: float, double, mask, range, etc.  In my 
validation.xml file I have a parameter that I am attempting to validate based 
on three dependencies: required,mask,range.  I would like a user to be 
able to enter a string in the format eg. "Smith-Jones & Sons* Pty/Ltd"  
Everything works for me *except* for the "mask" dependency.

The "mask" uses a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and the characters /&*- plus spaces in the 
input. It was able to handle a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and spaces but the slash, ampersand, 
asterisk and hyphen does not seem to work. The whole validation is skipped when 
the other character are added in the expression. 
Here is what I currently have defined in the regular expression: 

^[A-Za-z0-9\s+]*$
