Add a ALL group to validate all groups instead of DEFAULT or the selected ones ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: BVAL-222 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-222 Project: Bean Validation Issue Type: New Feature Components: spec-general Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard Gerhard #2 it would be nice to have #validateAll or a group called javax.validation.groups.All to validate all groups without knowing the concrete groups. Emmanuel What's the use case they were invoking? ( my favorite mantra :) ) Gerhard i think it was just: if you are using groups for partial validation you might have a wizard and in every step you validate with a different group and they needed the concept instead of collecting all groups manually (e.g. in the service which finally saves the new entry) -> they requested an api for validating every constraint which is available in the given object-graph -> the service can perform a full validation before it processes the data. -- 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
