>                 Key: BVAL-143
>                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-143
>             Project: Bean Validation
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: spec-general
>    Affects Versions: 1.0 proposed final draft
>            Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard
>            Priority: Minor
>
> path are today strings with dot separating properties. But it break when Set or Iterable are used.
> We could replace that with
> --- First strawman, must evolve --
> class PathElement {
>   String getName();
>   PathElement getParentPath();
>   boolean isIterable();
>   boolean isIndexed();
>   Object getIndex();
>   //TODO int getIndex()?
>   // not happy about that as it is only useful for Constraintciolation
>   PathElement getChild();
> }
> PathElement would be used for Constraintvuilation, maybe CVContext etc
> can this be refactored using inheritance +  generics to have an IndexedPathElement only when it matters (probably no unfortunately)
