[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-304) Class Validation Constraints Cause Duplicate ConstraintViolations

Class Validation Constraints Cause Duplicate ConstraintViolations ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-304 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-304 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Components: engine Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Beta1 Environment: java 1.5.0_16-b02 Reporter: Marvin Addison Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik When a custom constraint applied to a class is evaluated by Hibernate Validator, duplicate validation errors are produced. My investigation points to ValidatorImpl#validateConstraint() path evaluation as the root cause. In particular it appears that it has improper handling of constraints that have null paths, which would be the case for a constraint applied to a class.
