Naming wise, that's an interesting approach to use contract in the name. Another question we had with the JAX-RS team was whether or not such annotation would be mandatory to validate contracts by default. In JPA and JSF, validation is on by default and I see no reason why JAX-RS would need to add a @ContractValidated annotation to activate method-level validation. Of course the annotation would still be useful to customize validation and disable it altogether.
