BVAL-327: enabling / disabling method validation
by Emmanuel Bernard
Please review the latest changes to the integration chapter
http://beanvalidation.org/latest-draft/spec/#integration
After much deliberations here are the choices that have been made:
- the section around @ValidateExecutable and the XML global config
<validated-executables/> has moved to the integration chapter
- <validated-executables/> is part of validation.xml (and not beans.xml)
and is only visible via
Configuration.getBootstrapConfiguration().getValidatedExecutableTypes()
- @ValidateExecutable and <validated-executables/> do not influence the
metadata and runtime behavior of the Bean Validation engines
- it is the interception technology's responsibility to honor <validated-executables/>
and @ValidateExecutable
There has been much debates between Hardy, Gunnar and I. I was
personally in favor of honoring <validated-executables/> and @ValidateExecutable
in the BV runtime and metadata (with an option to disable that) but they
felt that due to the separation of concern / responsibility, it was
better to leave that to the integration piece with the interception
technology.
To be clear, validateParameters and co as well as the
metadata around executables ignore <validated-executables/> and @ValidateExecutable
today.
Please read the chapter (and the linked sections). It's a short read but
that will be useful for us if you can express your opinion.
Remember, we are in the last 20 days to finish everything in BV 1.1.
