[bv-dev] Method validation - cont'd

Hi all, now that some weeks have passed since we've released the BV 1.1 early draft, I thought it's about time to continue with the method validation feature [1]. The current spec document [2] contains several TODO markers relating to method validation which need to be addressed. The most relevant issues IMO are: * Align on approach for cross-parameter validation * Should method validation methods be defined on j.v.Validator or a dedicated new interface? * Polish extension for method constraints to meta-data API * Further discuss @MethodValidated annotation with other EGs (e.g. JAX-RS) * Should ParameterNameProvider go into a sub-package? Please see the spec for a more detailed description of these and other issues. If you have feedback, ideas or questions around any of these issues, the method validation feature in general or see any issues currently not yet discussed, please don't hesitate to post to the list. I'll start specific discussions on individual items as required. In parallel the implementation of the feature within the RI will start [3]. I guess this will create additional insights, too. I'm looking forward to your feedback, --Gunnar [1] https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/BVAL-272 [2] http://beanvalidation.org/1.1/spec/ [3] https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HV-571
