[hibernate-dev] [HV] Extending ParameterNameProvider contract for other element types

[Gunnar Morling]

I also think that the conversion of the ConstraintViolation(s) into another
format is more in the responsibility of the integrating technology.

Taking JAX-RS/Resteasy as example, it will transparently convert any
constraint violation objects into an equivalent XML or JSON response.
Provided we return the wished property name in the reported violation,
Resteasy's conversion would take over from there.
