Gary Fleming commented on BVAL-208:
-----------------------------------

I've hit into this a couple of times, so would like to see it added. Additionally, there are two issues for this in the Spring JIRA, suggesting a custom annotation. I'd rather see this added to the spec, than have the functionality elsewhere:
http://jira.springframework.org/browse/SPR-6373
http://jira.springframework.org/browse/SPR-7062

> 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.
