Given the attached sample project, I would like map the errors in an object like

errors: [
  ["beans", "1", "value"],
  ["strings", "2"]
]

As in my sample, my approach at the moment is by navigating the violation path (http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/validation/ConstraintViolation.html#getPropertyPath--) which works perfectly for the first case, but fails for the second (I cannot find a way to retrieve the index of the failing object). I think the reason is in the implementation of javax.validation.Path.PropertyNode in hibernate-validator, which retrieves the index from the parent node. In my case, the failing object is a leaf, thus this approach cannot work.
