Re: [bv-dev] [Java 8] How about support java.time in @Future and @Past?

Hi Markus, thanks for your feedback. Supporting new Java 8 data types seems to be a good candidate for the next iteration of the Bean Validation spec. If this version will align with Java 8, there are other candidates as well. For example the ability to annotate collection elements (List<@Min(4) String> foo) or handling the validation of @Optional values. At the moment the plan for an new spec release are still in the making. However, in Hibenrate Validator we already started the work on supporting Java 8 [1], including the new date and time types [2]. Hibernate Validator 5.2 should make this functionality available, probably well before there will be a new spec version. Once HV 5.2 is available you should be able to upgrade even without a new version of the Bean Validation spec. —Hardy [1] https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HV-825 [2] https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HV-874 On 27 Jan 2014, at 06:27, Markus Malkusch <markus(a)malkusch.de&gt; wrote:
