[hibernate-dev] [Bean Validation] XML Mapping schema

Hi,

I think bean level annotation is sufficient. I am sure that some people
can come up with some sort of use case field and  method level, but it just
adds unnecessay complexity. Bean level seems to be most intuative

Not sure. I like one consistent way of expresssing constraints. I don't  
think
it would be so important to have the xml 'typesafe'. Maybe you could send  
the
actual xsd files. It would be easier if I could load the xsd into a xml  
editor
and try some of the examples.

BTW, what does <stop-inhertiance/> do?
