Using @Valid On Collections

Hi there experts,

I'm wondering if the @Valid annotation also should work on collection attributes like sets and lists?

I'd expect the following annotation

Code:

@Valid
private Set<Customer> customers;

to execute something like

Code:

for (Customer customer : customers) {
   new ClassValidator<Customer>(Customer.class).getInvalidValues(customer);
   }
}

when the class containing the collection is being validated. Unfortunately this seems not to happen. Or has anybody got this runnig?

Makes sense.
Open a JIRA issue, even better provide a patch.

Create Jira entry... http://opensource2.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-208

If I should have 1-2 hours I'll try to supply a patch.
