Hi,

I've been looking for @Pattern examples to understand how they work without success. I also already read Hibernate Validator reference guide.

Could someone help me with some questions?

1) How I am supposed to use @Pattern with "flag=" parameter. What goes at flag parameter? Any example? I am trying to validate different postal codes formats from different countries.

2) @Patterns will validate all patterns? If the field matches one of them will Validator return true?

3 ) Could someone from Validator team update the reference guide with examples cause I think this is a powerful resource?

Thanks.

Ok.

flag must be one of the constants defined here...

If you want an OR, you'll have to write you custom validator, which shouldn't be hard. Plus it's going to be more explicit
@ZipCode
public String zipCode;

Thanks Emmanuel.
