/**
 * Regular Expression validation (using JDK 1.4+ regex support).
 * 

* Construct the validator either for a single regular expression or a set (array) of * regular expressions. By default validation is case sensitive but constructors * are provided to allow case in-sensitive validation. For example to create * a validator which does case in-sensitive validation for a set of regular * expressions: *

*
 * 
 * String[] regexs = new String[] {...};
 * RegexValidator validator = new RegexValidator(regexs, false);
 * 
 * 
* *
    *
  • Validate true or false:
  • *
  • *
      *
    • boolean valid = validator.isValid(value);
    • *
    *
  • *
  • Validate returning an aggregated String of the matched groups:
  • *
  • *
      *
    • String result = validator.validate(value);
    • *
    *
  • *
  • Validate returning the matched groups:
  • *
  • *
      *
    • String[] result = validator.match(value);
    • *
    *
  • *
* *

* Cached instances pre-compile and re-use {@link Pattern}(s) - which according * to the {@link Pattern} API are safe to use in a multi-threaded environment. *
