[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-274) Write a programmatic mapping API for constraint declarations

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-274?page=com... ] Emmanuel Bernard commented on HV-274: ------------------------------------- {quote} Do we want to be able to programmatically add constraint definitions? I guess so. {quote} What's the use case you have in mind? You can't create definitions in XML, you can change the binding definition / validator implementation though which is a useful feature. {quote} Should the programmatic API have some functionality to ignore annotations? What the approach in HSearch in this case? {quote} We don't support that at the moment Something like an ignoreAnnotation() would work at the type() and getter() level I guess. BTW, Hibernate Search does not use field(String name) / getter(String name) but rather does property(String name, ElementType type). Regardless of what we choose, we should align. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
