Question

I currently have a:

@Pattern(regexp=”\p{Alpha}+”, message=”Only Alphabetic chars allowed”)

That restricts the user to only use Alphabetic chars. But I’m trying to also allow the user to use “Space”.

I have figured out that the “pattern” for space is:

\\p{Blank}

But I need help combinig the two, so you can write both alphabetic chars and spaces.

Thank you in advance 🙂

You can use a character class [...]:

@Pattern(regexp="[\\p{Alpha}\\p{Blank}]+",
         message="Only Alphabetic and Blank chars allowed")
