/**
* <p><strong>FormatValidator</strong> is a Validator that checks
* the validity of String representation of the value of the
* associated component against a list of specified patterns.</p>
* <ul>
* <li>Call getValue() to retrieve the current value of the component.
* If it is <code>null</code>, exit immediately. (If null values
* should not be allowed, a RequiredValidator can be configured
* to check for this case.)</li>
* <li><code>formatPattern</code> is a <code>|</code> separated string
* of allowed patterns. </li>
* <li> This validator uses the following rules to match a value against a
* pattern.
* <li> if the matching pattern has a "A", then corresponding character
* in input value should be a letter.
* <li> if the matching pattern has a "9", then corresponding character
* in input value should be a number.
* <li> if the matching pattern has a "#", then corresponding character
* in input value should be a number or a letter.
* <li> Any other character must match literally.
* </ul> </ul>
*
* Validators have to be Serializable, so you can't maintain a reference to
* a java.sql.Connection or javax.sql.DataSource inside this class in case
* you need to hook upto the database or some other back end resource.
* One approach would be to use JNDI-based data source lookups or do
* this verification in the business tier.
