/**
* <!-- START SNIPPET: javadoc -->
* EmailValidator checks that a given String field, if not empty, is a valid email address.
*
* The regular expression used to validate that the string is an email address is:
*
* <pre>
* \\b^['_a-z0-9-\\+]+(\\.['_a-z0-9-\\+]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\\.([a-z]{2,6})$\\b
* </pre>
*
* You can also specify expression, caseSensitive and trim params as a OGNL expression, see the example below.
* <!-- END SNIPPET: javadoc -->
*
*
* <!-- START SNIPPET: parameters -->
* <ul>
* <li>fieldName - The field name this validator is validating. Required if using Plain-Validator Syntax otherwise not required</li>
* </ul>
* Check also documentation of the RegexpValidator for more details - the EmailValidator bases on it.
* <!-- END SNIPPET: parameters -->
*
* <!-- START SNIPPET: parameters-warning -->
* Do not use ${regexExpression}, ${caseSensitiveExpression} and ${trimExpression} as an expression as this will turn into infinitive loop!
* <!-- END SNIPPET: parameters-warning -->
*
* <pre>
* <!-- START SNIPPET: example -->
* <!-- Plain Validator Syntax -->
* <validators>
* <validator type="email">
* <param name="fieldName">myEmail</param>
* <message>Must provide a valid email</message>
* </validator>
* </validators>
*
* <!-- Field Validator Syntax -->
* <field name="myEmail">
* <field-validator type="email">
* <message>Must provide a valid email</message>
* </field-validator>
* </field>
*
* <!-- Field Validator Syntax with expressions -->
* <!-- Only available when used with xml based configuration, if you want to have the same
* flexibility with annotations use @RegexFieldValidator instead -->
* <field name="myEmail">
* <field-validator type="email">
* <param name="regexExpression">${emailPattern}</param> <!-- will be evaluated as: String getEmailPattern() -->
* <param name="caseSensitiveExpression">${emailCaseSensitive}</param> <!-- will be evaluated as: boolean getEmailCaseSensitive() -->
* <param name="trimExpression">${trimEmail}</param> <!-- will be evaluated as: boolean getTrimEmail() -->
