[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-588) Create a marker annotation for entities which should be excluded for validation

Create a marker annotation for entities which should be excluded for validation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-588 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HV-588 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: New Feature Components: engine Reporter: Hardy Ferentschik Fix For: 5.x We could offer a marker annotation for entities (and maybe package level) to mark entities which should be excluded from validation (eg don't have any constraints). This can reduce metadata processing time and it can also reduce the memory consumption (even if an entity does not contain constraints it will be in the metadata cache).
