Email validation facing issue while upgrading Struts 2.1 to Struts 2.3

Question

In my application I am using the Struts XML validation which was working fine with Struts 2.1 and I just upgrade it to 2.3 and now email validation is not working for jamshed.katta@icab.cat.

my regex is like this

<field name="email">
    <field-validator type="requiredstring">
        <message key="register.validation.email" />
    </field-validator>
    <field-validator type="email">
    <param name="regexExpression">\\b^['_a-z0-9-\\+]+(\\.['_a-z0-9-\\+]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\\.[a-z0-9-]+)\*\.([a-z]{2}|aero|arpa|asia|biz|com|coop|edu|gov|info|int|jobs|mil|mobi|museum|name|nato|net|org|pro|tel|travel|xxx|**cat**)$\\b</param>
        <message key="register.validation.email.format" />
    </field-validator>
</field>

Answer 1

Try this regex validator:

<field name="email">
    <field-validator type="requiredstring">
        <message key="register.validation.email" />
    </field-validator>
    <field-validator type="regex">
      <param name="regexExpression"><![CDATA[^['_a-z0-9-\+]+(\.['_a-z0-9-\+]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.([a-z]{2}|aero|arpa|asia|biz|com|coop|edu|gov|info|int|jobs|mil|mobi|museum|name|nato|net|org|pro|tel|travel|xxx|cat)$]]></param>
        <message key="register.validation.email.format" />
      <param name="caseSensitiveExpression">${false}</param>
      <param name="trimExpression">${true}</param>
    </field-validator>
</field>

It has also caseSensitiveExpression parameter and trimExpression parameters applied. More about regex validator you can find in the documentation.
