Data validation with Hibernate

Question

I currently galley with data validation via Hibernate. Especially with the @Pattern annotation

Wholesale verification is always false, no matter what I do, so I can not save the object.

I try this, among other things:

@NotNull
@Size(max=30)
@SafeHtml
@Pattern(regexp="[a-zA-Z]", messsage="the name can only contain letters")
private String name;

et ceci :

@NotNull
@Size(max=30)
@SafeHtml
@Pattern(regexp="\\D", messsage="the name can only contain letters")
private String name;

In both case, if i write "toto," I have the error message that appears.

Someone an idea?

Have you tried [a-zA-Z]*

The patterns you have look like they only capture one letter. You need a * or a + to suggest multiple letters.
