Email validation in Java

Add a comment January 24th, 2007 Lijin

Validating the mail very effectively, is little difficult. Most of the programers will search for a code for this to make their work easier. Here is a simple code for validating your email in Java. It is using the apache.commons-validator jar and oro-gump-18012007.jar.

// Code email validation

public static boolean validateEmailAddress(String sEmail){
EmailValidator emailValidator = EmailValidator.getInstance();
return emailValidator.isValid(sEmail);
}

We can do the email validation using regx. This is another way of doing it effectively. If this post helped you then please leave one comment here :)

    I must say I’ve never looked at commons-validator before… I must say: I’ve been missing out! Very cool stuff (typical of most of the commons).

    The only problem I’ve had recently with commons was when I downloaded fileupload, only to find that it now has a dependency on io. Meh… I like my API’s to have velocity style “dep” JAR’s that include all the dependencies, so that I don’t have to download them…. I’m lazy :P

    This doesn’t allow blanks, which are legal char in the front part of the email addresses. It doesn’t cover more recent standards, thus is now deprecated.
