add support for @Pattern with BeanValidationStrategy

[aviram26]

Currently got a warning:
At the moment PODAM doesn't support @Pattern({})

I can do a PR if you can give me some hints about the way to achieve this (e.g. a way to override BeanValidationStrategy or attaching something to the factory)

Can be generated easily using https://github.com/mifmif/Generex

Apparently, the warning should be replaced with an actual implementation.

As you can see, a regular expression [A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+.[A-Z]{2,6}, which is supposed to be an email, results in the following string:

And also Generex doesn't support ^ and $ patterns.

You are right...
I will look for other solutions and update if I find anything
Thanks for the responsiveness :)

There is also Xeger, but it never was released to Maven. One way could be adding Generex as a dependency any way and then encourage people to file issues to it and also do PR to Generex fixing obvious problems.
