Hi,

Check validators demos: http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/beanValidator.jsf?c=beanValidator&tab=usage

Can you use the @Email annotation if you're not connecting to a database? In other words, I'm working with a Seam class and not an entity bean.

What if you are not using Hibernate or Seam?

From what I saw in the example, it's possible to use the Hibernate validation even if you're not using an entity bean or connecting to a database. Cool!

If you're not using Seam or Hibernate but are using JSF, you can use this example: http://blogs.sun.com/johnc/entry/validating_an_email_address_in

I've not been able to get it to work on my project, though. You might have better luck.

BTW, latest 1.2 JSF comes with bundled regexValidator tag. You can use it for the e-mail validation purposes. Check META-INF directory of jsf-impl.jar
