Emmanuel Bernard commented on BVAL-16:
--------------------------------------

I believe we should mandate a correct path in the spec. But not force to raise an exception. This can be implementation specific.

> 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.
