----------------------------------------

Hi, yes. In order not to have a huge amount of valeue objects, I use groups to select which attributes to include in validation.
With the @Valid option in Spring MVC, we can validate these Value Objects. It would be great to be able to select based on groups to limit the amount of Value Objects in the build.

> The @Valid annotation should implement the group attribute in order to make validation completely annotation driven. Currently, we need to manually call the validate method on the validator if we want to validate based on groups.
