[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HV-530) Explain propagation of redefined default groups across associated instances annotated with @Valid

To associated entities only the group Default will be propagated. The spec says: {quote} @Valid is an orthogonal concept to the notion of group. If two groups are in sequence, the first group must pass for all associated objects before the second group is evaluated. Note however that the Default group sequence overriding is local to the class it is defined on and is not propagated to the associated objects. The following example illustrates this {quote}
