Re: [bv-dev] BVAL-436 disable executable validation altogether

Hi all, While implementing the rules around automatic method validation, I realised that there is no option to disable automatic method validation altogether via XML. I thought I could do something like this: <validated-executables> <executable-type>NONE</executable-type> </validated-executables> However, the xml configuration only acts as a global default for the valuation type and can still be overridden by explicit @ValidateExecutable annotations. See the algorithm in section 10.1.2 [1]. In fact the xml configuration is consulted last to determine whether validation should occur or not. As a result we already created BVAL-435 [2] to rename <validated-executables/> to <default-validated-executables/>. I think that better reflects the intention of this configuration option. This still does not address the issue of really disabling method validation - BVAL-436 [3]. I see that useful in the case where you deal with a library where you cannot change the code/annotations and you want to disable validation altogether. That's currently not possible. WDYT? Is it too late to add an additional option? --Hardy [1] http://beanvalidation.org/1.1/spec/1.1.0.cr1/#integration-general-executable [2] https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/BVAL-435 [3] https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/BVAL-436 _______________________________________________ beanvalidation-dev mailing list beanvalidation-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/beanvalidation-dev
