ValidatorFactory#close should clearly state post condidtions 
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BVAL-285
                 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/BVAL-285
             Project: Bean Validation
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: spec-general
    Affects Versions: 1.1.next
            Reporter: Hardy Ferentschik


The Javadocs for ValidatorFactory#close says:

{quote}
After the _ValidatorFactory_ instance is closed, it is not allowed to call:
* methods of this _ValidatorFactory_ instance
* methods of _Validator_ instances created by this _ValidatorFactory_
{quote}

It does, however, not specified what happens if such a method is called. I think with this wording a post conditions needs to be specified, eg a _ValidationException_ will be thrown. Otherwise the docs should say that the behavior is unspecified if any of the mentioned methods is called after calling _close()_
