[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ARQ-168) Use Bean Validation on container configuration properties

[Dan Allen (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-168?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12535276#action_12535276 ] 

Dan Allen commented on ARQ-168:
-------------------------------

I heed your concern, as we don't want to make things more difficult than they already are. However, I think that this validation can occur on the client side, as Arquillian is loading. Plus, it's just a syntactical check to make sure that values are reasonable. The annotations themselves are harmless wherever they travel (though I don't think container configurations are packaged anyway).

I should also mention that it's important for us to advocate Bean Validation :)

> The container needs to ensure that the user has supplied sane configuration values, or else risk blowing up in weird and unpredictable ways. Rather than doing these laborious checks manually (and possibly only partially), Bean Validation should be used to enforce the values fall with a value range or adhere to a required syntax.
