[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (BVAL-202) Apply constraints on the elements of an iterator

[Emmanuel Bernard (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-202?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=35828#action_35828 ] 

Emmanuel Bernard commented on BVAL-202:
---------------------------------------

Solution #2
Add a boolean validElements attribute on all annotations. defaulting to false.
If set to true, the elements of the collection are validated and not the collection instance itself

@NotNull
@Size(max=30)
@Size(max=50, validElements=true)
@Email(validElements=true)
Collection<String> emails;

This solution cannot be applied right away before a BV 1.1 and require all annotations to be change to add the new attribute.

> The use case is the ability to ask a constraint to be applied, not on the annotated element itself but on the elements contained by the annotated element (typically an Iterator). Hardy and I have been discussing various options. I will list them in various comments
