Hello,

About method level validation, what is the expected value for the attribute propertyPath (attribute of ConstraintViolation) when calling the method validateParameters ?

I've read appendix C - page 112 of bean_validation-1_0_CR1-pfd-spec.pdf - but didn't found anything).



For instance:
I have the method :

if value is null, would I have :

. propertyPath=value (name of the parameter - I don't think this can be done at least with JSE 6)

. or propertyPath=0 (order of arguments)

Thanks !

This was never fully specified unfortunately and the Appendix C will not make it as officially part of the spec :(
We have introduced the notion of Path and Node object instead of the string based propertyPath, things will be more open for extension in the future.
That being said you're right, getting the parameter name out of a class is not standard unfortunately.

In my implementation of method-level validation I set the property path string to be:

#<method-name>(<param1-simple-name>, <param2-simple-name>, ...)[<param-index>]

This seems to make pretty clear error messages.

yes but how do you get param1-simple-name?
