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

Ok, got you.As said, the problem is that the spec does not guarantee an order, also not in the context of _ConstraintValidatorContext_. I guess we could just use a _LinkedHashSet_, but then you would be relying on something which is not portable. Also this order makes only sense in conjunction with _ConstraintValidatorContext_. The order in which constraints are evaluated is still undefined.

> 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.
