Matthias Kurz ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HHH-16538 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16538?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMDAxOW... ) Re: No fallback to javax.validation.ConstraintViolation ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16538?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMDAxOW... ) Makes sense probably. I didn’t try to use javax.validation, I was just scrolling through the code to find out how things things work, when suddently these two lines caught my eye. Obviously they are duplicating logic. I guess removing the fallback is the way to go.
