[hibernate-dev] [HV] Extending ParameterNameProvider contract for other element types

Hi, On SO [1], a user asked whether it's possible to report custom names for property constraint violations, e.g. "nm" as retrieved from the annotation in this case: @JsonProperty("nm") @NotNull final public String name; At the moment that's not possible with HV, but one might think about a contract similar to ParameterNameProvider which returns the reported names for properties (or even custom names to be used instead of the constants "<return-value>" and "<cross-parameter>"). It's the first time I came across this requirement but adding support for this should not be too complex and it might be helpful to some. Any thoughts? --Gunnar [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18878868/hibernate-validator-and-jacks...
