Inherited Bean validates non-default constraints as default
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HV-350
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-350
             Project: Hibernate Validator
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: engine
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Final
         Environment: Spring 3.0.3
            Reporter: Marc Schipperheyn
            Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik


Let's say you have 2 beans

public class Vehicle{
	
	@AssertTrue(groups={CheckMaintenance.class,CheckRoad.class})
	public boolean oilCheck;
	
	@NotNull(groups={CheckRoad.class})
	public String plate;
}

public class Car extends Vehicle{
	@Min(value=4)
	public int numWheels;
}

validate(car,Class<?>[]{Default.class,CheckMaintenance.class});

If I validate Car, all the Vehicle validations are selected as Defaults as opposed to by their specific marker interface. In other words, Validator validates plate regardless of the fact that CheckRoad is not part of the array of marker interfaces specified for this validation. I assume this has something to do with the inherited nature of the class.

Stepping through the code, I can also see that the groups Descriptor of the ConstraintDescriptorImpl 'loses' non default groups for the inherited constraints.
