Hi,

When I put a validation annotation on a private field of a data class, it does not get validated by hibernate by using application-level validation, and also not the event-based validation. It does however get picked up bij hdb2ddl (schema validation according to (http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/annot ... dator.html) 3.2.)

Can someone tell if this might be a bug or that I'm maybe expecting the wrong thing? BTW, the EJB3 annotations do work on the private fields.

Oh and of course it works on the public getter

I do have unit tests for that. Double check, there should be something else.
