3.6. Configuring a Regex ruleBase

  1. Use this example code to configure a Regex ruleBase: 
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<smooks-resource-list  xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd"  xmlns:rules="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/rules-1.0.xsd">
 
    <rules:ruleBases>
        <rules:ruleBase name="customer" src="/org/milyn/validation/order/rules/customer.properties" provider="org.milyn.rules.regex.RegexProvider"/>
    </rules:ruleBases>
 
</smooks-resource-list>

  2. Define the Regex expressions in a standard .properties file format. The following customer.properties Regex rule definition file example shows you how: 
    # Customer data rules...
customerId=[A-Z][0-9]{5}
customerName=[A-Z][a-z]*, [A-Z][a-z]
