[bv-dev] Validation.properties ResourceBundle and modularity

Hello Experts, I understand this may be off topic, but I am not sure how to best bring this to your attention, so please excuse this email. GlassFish uses JSR-303 for ensuring that its configuration information is valid. In the course of this usage, we ran into an apparent shortcoming in the JSR-303 spec regarding ClassLoaders and the Validation.properties ResourceBundle. A succint writeup of the problem is at [1] but in 140 characters or less, the problem is: In a MessageInterpolatorImpl, I need a reference to the .class to which the constraint is applied, *without using payload*. In other words, can we make the default value of the payload attribute be the .class to which the constraint is applied?
