<T> in ValidatorContext<T> Validator<T> and InvalidConstraint<T> are inadequately considered unique
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BVAL-12
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-12
             Project: Bean Validation
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: ri-general
            Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard
            Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik


In ValidatorImpl.validate()
T Generic of ValidatorContext<T> and InvalidConstraint<T> are likely to be different than the Validator<T>
A context can be created in a validator (T are equal). but the same context (a clone really) can be passed to a sub validator. Ts are then different. I believe it's the same for InvalidConstraints. An IC created by a subvalidator<U> will craete IC<U>, you will need to convert them in IC<T> when coming to the root validator<T>.

So we need something like 
private <U> List<InvalidConstraintImpl<T>> validate(ValidationContext<U> context, List<String> groups) { }
same for similar methods.
