Revisit cross field validation ------------------------------ Key: BVAL-239 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-239 Project: Bean Validation Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard Assignee: Emmanuel Bernard Cross field validation is addressed via a black box model using class-level constraint validators. While conceptually elegant, many people have asked for a way to place such field validation at the field level and offer the ability to reach the value of another field from here. Cross field validation is also a need in presentation layers like JSF. Let's reopen the debate if time permits.
