Hardy Ferentschik commented on HV-585:
--------------------------------------

Could you be more specific what you are referring to? Bean Validation generally does not guarantee any order of _ConstraintViolations_ (or error messages). The validate method has the signature _Set<ConstraintViolation<T>> validate(T object, Class<?>... groups);_. Or maybe you are referring composed constraints. However, there is no guarantee about order either.

Maybe it helps if you would just be more specific.

> When adding validation messages, they are stored in an ArrayList. Later on, they are transferred to a HashSet, and finally to a String[] array. Naturally, putting them in a HashSet screws up the order of the messages, which may be important (for example, I have a "header" error message I wish to display first). Please consider changing the HashSet to a LinkedHashSet.
