                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-16
             Project: Bean Validation
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: ri-general, spec-general
            Reporter: Hardy Ferentschik


if you do something like this validateProperty( foo, "prop1.prop2.prop3[3]" ), does this imply that the whole chain is validated? One could just get the value/class for prop[3] and see if there are any validations defined on it or you could actually traverse the whole path and also ensure that prop1 and prop2 are annotated with @Valid.
 
To put it differently, has the property to validated be reachable via a valid 'validation chain'? Somehow it feels to be the right thing to do.
