Sorry, I have tried to find something about this in the forum, but have been unable to do so. However, I cannot believe I am the first to have it.

I have several class-level annotations that apply to a number of properties (@EqualTo.List({ ... }), for instance). However, when the errors return, there is always only a single error message for each annotation type, no matter how many fields are actually invalid (so I have a number of @EqualTo and @NotNull [mine, not the default] properties, but only one EqualTo message appears and only one NotNull message appears, each applying to only a single property, even though several properties are in fact null or not equal).

Is this because the system automatically short-circuits when a single validation of a given type fails? Can this be overridden?

Thanks in advance for all replies!

There should be one error per failing constraint unless you are using group sequences. Hard to tell what exactly your problem is without seeing the annotated classes. Could you post them?

Many thanks for your trouble in answering, but looking at it with fresh eyes I just noticed that the problem had nothing to do with the validation. Again, thanks and best holiday wishes!
