[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-245?page=com... ] Emmanuel Bernard commented on HV-245: ------------------------------------- See Kevin's argument ------- During our testing of OpenJPA with the Hibernate BeanValidation RI, we hit the same issue as documented in this JIRA HV-213. I see that you voiced your agreement that these should not be Serializable. In a distributed environment, having these ConstraintViolations serializable would be a great benefit. I can understand the hesitancy due to Entities (or other object types) not being Serializable and thus causing some type of RuntimeException. But, even the JPA spec outlines this usage... Section 2.1 "If an entity instance is to be passed by value as a detached object (e.g., through a remote interface), the entity class must implement the Serializable interface." And, in section 3.4.5 "Entities that may be referenced in wrapped exceptions should implement Serializable so that marshalling will not fail." It would seem that allowing ConstraintViolations to be Serializable would be consistent with the expectations. Without making this type of change, it will require all of the server environments to first catch the ConstraintViolation and then re-package it in a client acceptable Serializable exception. A lot of wasted cycles for a common scenario. Can you take another look at this Issue?
