Refer to values across multiple nested objects

Hi there,

Does Hibernate validator supports creating rules that refer to multiple nested objects in an object hierarchy?

As far as I understand this could be possible creating custom annotations, but I would really want to know if you could directly use some code in the annotations to create this kind of expression as for example (imaginary code):

Code:

@NotNull
private double clientRate;

@Assert(expr="_field.value == this.clientRate")
private double marketRate;

Cheers,
Martin

no there is no out of the box solution. The idea of having an Expression Language annotation is in the air though
