[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HV-480) Constraints configured via XML and programmatic API aren't merged

Constraints configured via XML and programmatic API aren't merged ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-480 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-480 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Gunnar Morling Fix For: 4.x The HV reference guide says {quote} [The programmatic] API can be used exclusively or in combination with annotations and xml. If used in combination programmatic constraints are additive to otherwise configured constraints. {quote} While that is right for constraints configured via annotations and programmatic API this does currently not work for constraints configured via XML and programmatic API. Currently a type's XML configuration has precedence over its programmatic configuration. The cause is that once the meta data for a type is added to the bean meta data cache in {{ValidatorFactoryImpl#initXmlConfiguration()}} programmatic meta data won't be added or merged in {{initProgrammaticConfiguration()}}. -- 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
