        <div class="comment-block" style="background-color:#edf5ff;border:1px solid #dddddd;color:#000000;padding:12px;"><p>As I said, I'm not completely sure about conditions, I have problems reproducing it (I suspect our development environment is different from testing environment) and I'm trying to guess what happened from logs of our testing environment. I will try to write down all details I know:</p>

<ul class="alternate" type="square">
        <li>We are using Spring validator factory bean. I don't think it's important, but here is the validator initializing code:
<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java">StaticContextAccessor.getApplicationContext().getBean(<span class="code-quote">"validatorFactory"</span>, LocalValidatorFactoryBean.class).getValidator()</pre>
</div></div></li>
        <li>It happens when the validator is called directly in our code:
<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java">validator.validateValue(bean.getClass(), propertyName, propertyValue, groups);</pre>
</div></div></li>
        <li>I think (however I'm not sure) that one of the failing cases is this:<br/>
<div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="preformattedContent panelContent">
<pre>bean.getClass() = SomeComplexType, propertyName="orders[0].request.amount"</pre>
</div></div>, where orders is of type List&lt;SomeOtherComplexType&gt;, propertyValue=null, groups=SomeNonDefaultGroup</li>
        <li>I suspect the problem is in that generic list</li>
        <li>Right now I'm trying workaround - instead of validating nested property I resolve the "request" property myself and validate amount against it. It exludes the generic list from processing and I think it works, but I get wrong paths in constraint validation, but that's another story.</li>
</ul>


<p>This is all I know (sorry for obfuscation, security here is very tight), I hope it will be helpful. The stacktrace of typical failure is this</p>
<div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="preformattedContent panelContent">
