Hi,
I am using validation annotations in my managed bean to validate text input. Here are the annotations:
@Size(min=0, max=20, message = "Value cannot be more than 20 characters")
@Pattern(regexp = "[^|]", message = "Invalid entry. See field description.")
private String txt;
The size annotation enforces a length but does not force input. The second one throws an error when a pipe character is found in the string. But when a user leaves the field blank and clicks submit,the pattern error is thrown. Why is this happening when the field is blank?
Thanks.
