EmailValidation (email address) with RFC3696

I look for an email validator accepted the email address in the rfc3696 standard (who accepted the accents in the email). I try ( org.apache.commons.validator.routines.EmailValidator) "commons-validator 1.4.0" but this validator does not accept accents.

I want a java api to validates an email address according to standard rfc3696. Ex Valid Email address : Loïc.Accentué@voilà.fr

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • I think the best solution to validate email address is parse email with JavaMail. 

    public static boolean isValidEmailAddress(String emailAddress) {
   try {
       InternetAddress.parse(emailAddress, true);
       return true;
   } catch (Exception e) {
    return false;
   }

}
