             Project: Hibernate Validator
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: engine
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Alpha2
            Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard
            Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik
             Fix For: 4.0.0.Alpha3


I tried to implement it myself but several part of the code held me off.
It seems ReflectionHelper is fairly buggy.

The idea was to convert isCollection, getCollectionClass, isCollectionClass to isIterable, getIterableClass, isIterableClass. It is straightforward except that in various places, the code expect Map to be a subclass of Collection which it is *not*:
   ReflectionHelper.getIndexedType assumes so
   ReflectionHelper.getIndexedValue assumes so

I suspect Map is not tested.

Also the code seems to consider every Collection as indexed (but I might be wrong)
