[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HV-502) Changing Generic Type on @Size, @Pattern a.s.o. from String to CharacterSequence

Changing Generic Type on @Size, @Pattern a.s.o. from String to CharacterSequence -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-502 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-502 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Improvement Components: validators Affects Versions: 4.2.0.CR1 Environment: Hibernate Validator 4.2 Reporter: Andreas Grund Priority: Minor Fix For: 4.3.0.next Hi, it would be nice, if the Generic Type of the Validators for the @Size or @Pattern Annotation (exactly for all String based Validators) could be changed from String to CharSequence. This allows the user to implement it own CharSequence Implementations (e.g. a String Delegation class) and to use the Bean validation with his own Implementation without the need of additional configuration. Greetings, Andreas
