Provide a way to turn on recursive validation by default without @Valid needed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HV-32 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-32 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Jacques Morel Hibernate validation annotation is a great way to specify declaratively and cohesively the validation rules of a domain model. Unfortunately it can also become very verbose. As any good frameworks, hibernate validator should provide ways to set sensible defaults. In the case of recursive validation, we should have a way to turn it one at the class level or at the ClassValidator level. -- 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
