[bv-dev] Overriding constraints in inheritance hierarchies

Hi experts, just recently there was a ticket created in the HV tracker [1] which suggests to provide a way for "overriding" constraints within inheritance hierarchies, i.e. the constraints defined on a property of a parent bean are re-defined on the same property on an inherited bean type (instead of being added up). The approach suggested in the ticket doesn't work as described there, as it isn't possible to define a generic array of constraint annotations. Nevertheless it might be useful to have a means of disabling the constraints from super types in special cases. That said, I personally didn't have that requirement yet, but it makes sense to me that someone might find this useful. Any thoughts? --Gunnar [1] https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HV-548
