>                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-433
>             Project: Hibernate Validator
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: engine
>    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Final
>         Environment: Java 1.5.0 (IBM J9 2.3); Hibernate Validator 4.1.0.FINAL
>            Reporter: Christian Quanz
>
> Cascaded fields are not validated if the following applies:
> - Only @valid is specified for a particular field, no further constraints
> - Validation takes place on an object of a sublcass of the class where the field to be validated is defined
> Simply no validation will take place on the object assigned to the field. Eyerything works fine if I add another constraint definition, e.g., @NotNull to the field, as in the examples in the documentation. If I validate an object of the class where the field is defined, it also works. I doubt that it matters, but the field's visibility is "protected".
> I tested it for XML constraint definitions and programmatic constraint definitions.
> I could trace the error back to BeanMetaDataImpl->initFieldConstraints(...), where the flag cachedFieldIsCascaded will be false. Thus, addCascadedMember(...) will not be called for the field.
> In case of any additional constraint being defined, the flag cachedFieldIsCascaded will be true.
> Hope that helps.
