password validation

I am using struts validator frame work

My problem was

Password must contain characters from 3 of the following 4 categories: Uppercase letters, Lowercase letters,Numbers , Special characters.

Iam using regular expression to validate,its works fine when i set locale as 'us-en'.But its not possible for other language like french,german

when french user(locale is french) gives any character like ?it take it as special character .Expected result --?character as lowercase etc

So fix the regex to include those chars, or adjust the password rules.I don't exactly understand your problem. And why do you talk to yourself?
