I am wandering is there any way to validate date in format dd-mm-yyyy WITHOUT using any regular expression so that it has to accept date until today's date in java and validation includes checking leap year too ? Accepting input from user and validating in method ?

A regex isn't the right tool to validate a date anyway (do you want to write a regex able to check if there was 29 days in February that year ?). Use a date parser. – Denys Séguret Mar 16 '15 at 17:53
