[bv-dev] group conversion conflict between bean properties constrained in different ways

[Matt Benson]

Hi all,

Consider
InvalidGroupConversionInPropertyLevelOverridingTest#testGroupConversionsAreAdditiveAndExceptionIsThrownForMultipleConversionWithSameSource():

This test purports to enforce that a ValidationException is thrown because
a property specifies  multiple group conversions from the Default group.
However, the example actually specifies one via the annotated getter, and
the other via the XML-configured field. I can't find that the spec is
perfectly clear on this, but it is clear that a property should be accessed
using the mechanism of constraint declaration. I don't recall where, but
the TCK tests proper validation of field vs. getter even when the objects
returned are different. I would therefore argue that there could be some
legitimate reason to apply a different group conversion to field vs.
getter, and that the test case should be changed to specify the XML
constraint via getter as does the User class definition overridden.

Matt
