[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HV-487) Settle on an approach for instantiating constraint definitions

Settle on an approach for instantiating constraint definitions -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-487 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-487 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Task Components: engine Reporter: Gunnar Morling Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Fix For: 4.2.0.CR1 Due to the addition of method constraints the completely fluent way for instantiating constraint definitions in the mapping API doesn't work anymore. The alternatives discussed so far include: (1): {code:java} mapping.type( Marathon.class ) .property( "name", METHOD ) .constraint( new NotNullDef() ) {code} (2): {code:java} mapping.type( Marathon.class ) .property( "name", METHOD ) .constraint( ConstraintDef.create( NotNullDef.class ) ) {code} (3): {code:java} mapping.type( Marathon.class ) .property( "name", METHOD ) .constraint( NotNullDef.create() ) {code} One approach must be chosen and implemented (as of HV-431 (2) is implemented). Also the reference guide must be updated.
