[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (BVAL-285) ValidatorFactory#close should clearly state post condidtions

ValidatorFactory#close should clearly state post condidtions ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: BVAL-285 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/BVAL-285 Project: Bean Validation Issue Type: Improvement Components: spec-general Affects Versions: 1.1.next Reporter: Hardy Ferentschik The Javadocs for ValidatorFactory#close says: {quote} After the _ValidatorFactory_ instance is closed, it is not allowed to call: * methods of this _ValidatorFactory_ instance * methods of _Validator_ instances created by this _ValidatorFactory_ {quote} It does, however, not specified what happens if such a method is called. I think with this wording a post conditions needs to be specified, eg a _ValidationException_ will be thrown. Otherwise the docs should say that the behavior is unspecified if any of the mentioned methods is called after calling _close()_ -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
