[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-21?page=com.... ] Natalia K commented on HV-21: ----------------------------- I have found the same bug and hope to it's fixing soon. Emmanuel, I think - no overlapping should be done. Or at least there should be a way to override annotation completely. Because it should correspond to the meaning of overriding itself. If you override something - you try to change it. Not to save old behavior and add something new, but completely change. That's why you usually use overriding. In our project we had been trying to use Hibernate Validator, but got stuck with this bug. If it is fixed in the future, we will be able to use HV. For example, we have hierarchy, and in general we have property "age" within range(15,45). But for only one child we should change this range. And I want to have an opportunity to override that range. If you can recommend something to override annotation in a different way, please, let me know that way. Beforehand thank you for help. -- 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
