[bv-dev] XML-based configuration of method constraints and group conversions

[Gunnar Morling]

But isn't this is the same with putting a real annotation to a getter? At
least as long as we don't have something like @ValidateOnCall in BV (for
which we then again would need a way for specifying in XML I guess).

Maybe it's a good idea to wait with the XML stuff for the getter work being
finished.
