[Gunnar Morling (JIRA)]

Constraints configured via XML and programmatic API aren't merged
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HV-480
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-480
             Project: Hibernate Validator
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Gunnar Morling
             Fix For: 4.x


The HV reference guide says 

{quote}
[The programmatic] API can be used exclusively or in combination with annotations and xml. If used in combination programmatic constraints are additive to otherwise configured constraints.
{quote}

While that is right for constraints configured via annotations and programmatic API this does currently not work for constraints configured via XML and programmatic API. Currently a type's XML configuration has precedence over its programmatic configuration. The cause is that once the meta data for a type is added to the bean meta data cache in {{ValidatorFactoryImpl#initXmlConfiguration()}} programmatic meta data won't be added or merged in {{initProgrammaticConfiguration()}}.
