[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-572?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Mark Struberg commented on CDI-572: ----------------------------------- [~mkouba] yes, @Inject might be needed. But one could also use @PostConstruct to init this field. Or use Method injection. All that doesn't matter. Point is that _after_ all the injection was done and the instance is fully initialized it could be useful to invoke JSR-303 on it. Well that's a good question. What happens if there is some Exception in @PostConstruct? Guess the same should happen here as well. Or even throw a nice validation Exception. I agree with [[~Sven Linstaedt] that those checks only make sense at runtime. It might as well be that it fails for one request but passes for another one... If you think about business data producers this also makes perfect sense. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
