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

Hardy Ferentschik commented on BVAL-285:
----------------------------------------
my problem is that you are saying that something is not allowed. IMO one has in this case
to specify what happens if you still do it. Otherwise you are better off saying "the
behavior of the ValidatorFactory and all Validator instances created by this factory is
undefined after _close_ is called. It is recommended to not call any method on these
instances after the factory got closed"
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()_
