[jira] Commented: (WW-2191) Make validateAnnotatedMethodOnly the default and support client-side method-only validations

["Ted Husted (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Ted Husted commented on WW-2191:
--------------------------------

I just noticed a side-effect of setting validateAnnotatedMethodOnly to true is that it also bypasses property annotations made to methods in a base class. 

The problem here is that a useful strategy is to put "format" property validations on a base class, and then required and conditional validations on the action methods. So, I guess were looking for validateAnnotatedActionMethodOnly, but still validation any and all property validatons.

> A common use case for validation annotations is to use different validations per action method. However, in 2.0.x, the default is to combine the validations. A better default would be "true".
