Issue in giving custom error message when using custom validation in grails

Question

I have the following issue:

User.groovy

class Users {

String userName
String passwd

static constraints = {
    userName(nullable:false, maxSize:20)
    passwd(password:true,
            validator: {val, obj, errors->

                if (!(obj.passwd.matches("(.*[\\d])"))) errors.rejectValue('passwd', 'noNumber')

                if (!obj.passwd.matches("(.*[\\W])")) errors.rejectValue('passwd', 'noSpecialCh')

                if (!obj.passwd.matches("(.*[a-z])")) errors.rejectValue('passwd', 'noLower')

                if (!obj.passwd.matches("(.*[A-Z])")) errors.rejectValue('passwd', 'noUpper')

            }
    )
}

}

messages.properties

noNumber.racetrack.Users.passwd=password should contain at least one number noSpecialCh.racetrack.Users.passwd=password should contain at least one special character noLower.racetrack.Users.passwd=password should contain at least one lower case letter noUpper.racetrack.Users.passwd=password should contain at least one upper case letter

These lines of code give me error messages.

However,

when i enter "1222s" in password it gives the error messages: password should contain at least one number password should contain at least one special character password should contain at least one upper case letter

even though i have entered number.

when i enter "sss1" in password it gives the error messages: password should contain at least one lower case letter password should contain at least one special character password should contain at least one upper case letter

even though i have entered some lower cases.

It seems as if it checks the last character in the end and gives error messages.

What am i doing wrong in User.groovy or messages.properties? Are my Regular expressions wrong?

Please help me.

Your regexes are wrong. It should be \d+ for number, \W+ for special character, [a-z]+ and so on. Special symbols are escaped with one slash. + means - one or more occurrences of pattern. No need for .* and grouping with ().
