How to validate Email and URL through X++

With default functionality in AX, Email address and URL can be of any format and these do not get validated as per their respective correct formats.

Existing functionality


Accounts receivable | Common/Customers | All customers | Customer form | Under Contact information fast tab

Someone can put Email address in any format as I did “faisal” which is not a correct format of email address. Same applies for URL under contact information for customers.

Customized functionality


I created a new class with two static methods to validate these attributes as follows by taking concept from this blog post

/// <summary>
///    Class to validate Logistics Electronic
Address using Regex
/// </summary>
class LogiscticsElectronicAddressValidator
{
} 
/// <summary>
///    This method accepts a EMail and validates
this using REGEX
/// </summary>
/// <returns>
///    true or false based on Regex match
/// </returns>
Static Server
boolean validateEMail(EMail    _eMail)
{
    Boolean  
xppBool;
   
System.Boolean netBool;
    Str MatchEmailPattern =
       @”^(([w-]+.)+[w-]+|([a-zA-Z]{1}|[w-]{2,}))@”
     + @”((([0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]).([0-1]?
      
[0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]).”
     + @”([0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]).([0-1]?
      
[0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9])){1}|”
     
     + @”([w-]+.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4})$”;
   
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match
myMatch;
    ;
    new
InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop).assert();
    myMatch =
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex::Match(_eMail,MatchEmailPattern);
    netBool =
myMatch.get_Success();
    xppBool =
netBool;
   
CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
    Return
xppBool;
} 
/// <summary>
///    This method accepts a URL and validates
this using REGEX
/// </summary>
/// <returns>
///    true or false based on Regex match
/// </returns>
Static Server
boolean validateURL(URL    _url)
{
    Boolean  
xppBool;
   
System.Boolean netBool;
    Str matchURLPattern = “^(https?://)”
        + “?(([0-9a-z_!~*'().&=+$%-]+:
)?[0-9a-z_!~*'().&=+$%-]+@)?”
//user@
        + @”(([0-9]{1,3}.){3}[0-9]{1,3}” // IP- 199.194.52.184
        + “|” //
allows either IP or domain
        + @”([0-9a-z_!~*'()-]+.)*” // tertiary domain(s)- www.
        + @”([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]{0,61})?[0-9a-z].” // second level domain
        + “[a-z]{2,6})” // first level domain- .com or .museum
        + “(:[0-9]{1,4})?” // port number- :80
        + “((/?)|” //
a slash isn’t required if there is no file name
        + “(/[0-9a-z_!~*'().;?:@&=+$,%#-]+)+/?)$”;
   
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match
myMatch;
    new
InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop).assert();
    myMatch =
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex::Match(_url,matchURLPattern);
    netBool =
myMatch.get_Success();
    xppBool =
netBool;
   
CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
    Return xppBool;

}

To call these methods you need to override two methods (ModifiedField and ValidateField) in LogisticsElectronicAddress table.

After implementing this solution you will get error on entering invalid email and URL addresses.
