[Validator] HV000188 in TypeAnnotationAwareMetaDataProvider

Hi,

I started using bean validator 5.2.0 Alpha 1 on a Java 8 stand-alone application and found the following potential issue:

The class org.hibernate.validator.internal.metadata.provider.TypeAnnotationAwareMetaDataProvider logs the following at warning level:

Code:

HV000188: ParameterMessageInterpolator has been chosen, EL interpolation will not be supported

Now this could have been because there's no EL (which was the case at first), but that message is actually logged while doing type introspection. More specifically, TypeAnnotationAwareMetaDataProvider.getTypeParameter shows this warning whenever there's a non-Map attribute using generics with more than one type. So I see two issues:

The message is probably not what is intended for that situation
A warning message is probably overkill in that case, if required at all

Am I missing something or should I open a defect?

Thanks,

Hi Simon,

Thanks for getting in touch!

That looks like a bug indeed, the logger method is the right one, but its error message is wrong. My bet is it was a merging glitch as the same message is given for #184 (where it's right) and #188 (where it's wrong). Could you open an issue in our tracker (https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HV)? Btw. I agree, logging that warning here seems a bit over the top, likely it should be removed.

Thanks,
