Hi all,

Validation constraints defined in Bean Validation 1.1 are mostly written and assigned in static manner. This limits us to reuse the existing constraints in value-driven manner. Could we add a new attribute 'executeCondition' to the constrain definition? 'executeCondition' would take an EL expression. A bean validation framework would need to evaluate the expression set in this attribute. The corresponding constraint logic only gets executed when the expression set for 'executeCondition' is satisfied at runtime.

Let me know your thoughts on this suggestion.

Thanks,
Thang
