XML configuration does not allow configuration of public fields in superclass
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HV-430
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-430
             Project: Hibernate Validator
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: engine
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta1
            Reporter: Hardy Ferentschik
             Fix For: 4.2.0.CR1


The following will not work at the moment, even though the field _foo_ is public in class _A_. You will get an exception:
{noformat}
javax.validation.ValidationException: org.hibernate.validator.test.xml.B does not contain the fieldType  foo
{noformat}

{code}
public class A {
	public int foo;

	public int getFoo() {
		return foo;
	}

	public void setFoo(int foo) {
		this.foo = foo;
	}
}
{code}

{code}
public class B extends A {
}
{code}

{code}

        <field name="foo">
            <constraint annotation="javax.validation.constraints.Min">
                <element name="value">18</element>
            </constraint>
        </field>
    </bean>

The problem is that XMLMappingParser uses {{Class.getDeclaredField}} instead of {{Class.getField}} to check whether a field exists. Easy to fix, but need to check against the BV spec.
