[bv-dev] Priority list

Tue Sep 27 11:48:20 EDT 2011

For your info, here is my ordered list

## Must have
- BVAL-241 Method level validation
- BVAL-238 Support for container injection in ConstraintValidator
- BVAL-226 Make clear whether the static or the runtime type should be considered when creating property paths in case of cascaded validations
- BVAL-221 The constraint violation builder cannot put constraint on a top level map key
- BVAL-210 Make sure JTA / Java EE plays well with Bean Validation + JPA when exceptions occurs (at least raise the concern upstairs ;) )
- BVAL-208 Support groups translation when cascading operations (hosted on @Valid or not)

## Should have
- BVAL-220 Offer stereotypes to skip validation on empty or null
- BVAL-240 Revisit cross-field validation
- BVAL-225 Propose ability to provide default resource bundles (for a constraint definition provider)
- BVAL-219 Consider interpolating the value in error messages
- BVAL-223 Add formatter syntax for interpolated messages
- BVAL-216 Work with the JAXB EG to have a nice Bean Validation integration
- BVAL-214 Ability to validate an object and a list of changes
- BVAL-199 Offer helper classes to build ConstraintViolationExceptions (and potentially raise them)
- BVAL-198 Simplify creation of ConstraintViolationExceptions
- BVAL-192 Add 'exclusive' boolean attribute to @DecimalMin/@DecimalMax constraints
- BVAL-230 Add support for validating CharSequence types instead of just Strings
- BVAL-217 Seperate the notion of message resolver vs message interpolator
- BVAL-249 Add unwrap method to ConstraintValidatorContext for provider extension

## Nice to have
- BVAL-235 Support parameterized payload attributes (additional string param on @Payload)
- BVAL-233 provide access to contextual info during message interpolation
- BVAL-229 Offer a programmatic API to declare constraints on a domain model
- BVAL-222 Add a ALL group to validate all groups instead of DEFAULT or the selected ones
- BVAL-215 Make composition more flexible (OR support)
- BVAL-213 Convert persistence storage exception into Bean Validation exceptions
- BVAL-202 Apply constraints on the elements of an iterator
- BVAL-191 Introduce a addEntityNode() method to the fluent node builder API
- BVAL-211 Consider making javax.validation.ValidatorContext a self-referential generic type
- BVAL-237 Expose validated bean via ConstraintValidatorContext

## Next revision
-

## Discuss with JPA's expert group
- BVAL-234 Ignore @NotNull on JPA's @GeneratedValue properties for pre-persist operations
