[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-134) Built-in constraint parameter validation

[Emmanuel Bernard (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-134?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=33971#action_33971 ] 

Emmanuel Bernard commented on HV-134:
-------------------------------------

A constraint /declaration/ is about putting a constraint on a field. A constraint /definition/ is about creating the constraint annotation and its constraint validation implementation.

I still prefer IllegalArgumentException.

> When params are invalid (ie max < min), the ConstraintValidator raises a ValidationException.
> While not wrong from a spec POV, I don't think the impl has to use VE. It probably amkes more sense to use IllegalArgumentException
