[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HV-550) fail-fast doesn't work on composite constraints

fail-fast doesn't work on composite constraints ----------------------------------------------- Key: HV-550 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HV-550 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Components: engine Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Final Reporter: Emerson Farrugia Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Fix For: 4.3.0.Alpha1 I have a composite constraint @Foo that's validated by FooValidator. @Foo's marked with @Bar, which is validated by BarValidator. When I validate a bean whose property is marked as @Foo, and BarValidator fails, FooValidator is still being run. This prevents me from assuming that BarValidator has passed, which defeats the purpose of marking @Foo with @Bar because FooValidator now has to repeat the work of BarValidator. The culprit as best I can tell is line 133 of ConstraintTree, which doesn't check the fail-fast property before running the validator of the constraint itself.
