hi bfo, I tried your approach but now i get no changes to my entity. Steps: 1. I added a new entry 2. i click on the link and get on the edit page 3. i remove a property text that has a hibernate validator 4. i get the validator message 5. i fill in a new value 6. i click on the save button and come back to my list 7. the entity is the same without any changes. ???
