Should ConstraintDescriptor.getConstraintImplementation() replaced by .getConstraintImplementationClass()?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BVAL-33
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-33
             Project: Bean Validation
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: spec-general
            Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard


I don't see a use case for exposing the actual implementation instance, especially since Context has been added to the Constraint signature.

ConstraintDescriptor could then be used as a metadata container between a Constraint resolution strategy and the BV core engine wo having to pass the constraintFactory as a dependency. It would also make CD serializable.
