unified unit testing pattern for standalone validators
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HV-52
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-52
             Project: Hibernate Validator
          Issue Type: Patch
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.ga
            Reporter: Sanne Grinovero
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: validator-testing-cleanup.patch

Hi,
I've seen some bugs in the validator I would like to help solving, but the main issue I've seen is that to
write unittests the code is quite verbose; the consequence is that mission-critical code is well tested
but most trivial code is untested.

It looks like to me that most  JIRA issues here are relevant to this "untested trivial" code...

I would appreciate if you could apply this patch that greatly simplifies writing of unit tests for standalone validators,
as I would like to send some more patches using this code to develop test-first.

This affects only the "test" source, diffed from 3.0.0.GA, and includes some new testing of 
@NotEmpty and @Digits; I would add much more tests if you're not against it.

With "standalone validators" i mean that this is not useful for graph/integration testing,
just each validator on some property.

Sanne
