I think it's  better to have valid metadata since we are working with immutable object  at metadata level (at least in 99% of cases). Of course the method  validate is public and can be fired by metadata's client too in case of  metadata forced modification (forceXXX methods). Opinions?

Oki, but it isn't our validator. Here we are validate our metadata representing xml or annotations. AFAIK our validator tool is about our javax.* implementations, generated from this metadata. IOW here we have implemented minimal check from xsds constraints, something that users could achieve standalone just validating xml against our xsds. Of course we are not enabling xsds validation for performance reasons, doing this validation on generated metadata instead.

Good point. I have created a JIRA for the community about that:   https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBJCA-476 https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBJCA-476
Anyone interested?
