Trying to validate a POJO with nested collection that requires item validation

class TestTopLevel

class TestDetails

TestTopLevel topLevelValue = new TestTopLevel();
TestDetails details = new TestDetails();
topLevelValue.data = new ArrayList<>();
topLevelValue.data.add(details);

Both validateProperty and validateValue fail to validate the list items.

violations = validator.validateProperty(topLevelValue, "data");
violations = validator.validateValue(TestTopLevel.class, "data", topLevelValue);

It appears that the issue is in the validationContext.appliesTo( metaConstraint ) call.
metaConstraint is correctly pointing to the "large" property of the item in the list when it gets there.
However "validatedProperty" value at this point is "data" from the top level class.

@Override
public boolean appliesTo(MetaConstraint<?> metaConstraint)

private boolean validateMetaConstraint(BaseBeanValidationContext<?> validationContext, ValueContext<?, Object> valueContext, Object parent, MetaConstraint<?> metaConstraint) {
BeanValueContext.ValueState<Object> originalValueState = valueContext.getCurrentValueState();
valueContext.appendNode( metaConstraint.getLocation() );
boolean success = true;

if ( isValidationRequired( validationContext, valueContext, metaConstraint ) ) {

The equals check fails and the validation of the item is skipped because isValidationRequired returns false.
