Hi,

I'm just trying Hibernate Pattern Validator. I have written a simple code :



import org.hibernate.validator.Length;
import org.hibernate.validator.NotNull;
import org.hibernate.validator.Pattern;


public class ValidatePattern {

@NotNull
@Length(min=5,max=50)
@Pattern(regex="([a-zA-Z0-9]+[\\s]{0,1}[a-zA-Z0-9]*)([a-zA-Z0-9]*[\\s]{0,1}[a-zA-Z0-9]*)*", message="#{messages['company.name']}")
private String companyName;

public String getCompanyName() {
return companyName;
}

public void setCompanyName(String companyName) {
this.companyName = companyName;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
ValidatePattern obj = new ValidatePattern();
obj.setCompanyName("abc");
System.out.println("Check validity ---->"+obj.getCompanyName());


}

}

But when i'm executing this, I'm getting the output :

Check validity ---->abc

Shouldn't i getting some validation error as minimum length which i have define is 5. And also if i'm trying some weird input which should not match my regular expression, it is still showing same output as input. AM i missing anything ? Do i need to make some configurations to make Hibernate validators work ?
