[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (BVAL-19) Clarify when the metadata API is needed

Clarify when the metadata API is needed --------------------------------------- Key: BVAL-19 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-19 Project: Bean Validation Issue Type: Improvement Components: spec-general Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard Priority: Minor I think I will add a note on the chapter describing metadata. If somehow the data can be injected in the bean, it's better to use the runtime validation. If this is not possible, the metadata is helpful. From the spec, JCA or Joe Six-Pack are both clients.
