Stop using a properties file for built-in constraints and move to a list in Java -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: BVAL-90 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-90 Project: Bean Validation Issue Type: Improvement Components: ri-general Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard What's the benefit of having a properties file (BuiltinConstraintDesfinitions) as opposed to a <A extends Annotation> Map<A, ConstraintValidator<A, ?>> ? I understand the need for flexibility but how is recompiling the class containing this Map harder than using a properties file? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
