[jira] [Commented] (BVAL-109) Wrong enforcement that validation
groups have to be interfaces
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BVAL-109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13456608#comment-13456608 ]
Matt Benson commented on BVAL-109:
----------------------------------
My original comment explained why I believe the request violates the letter of the specification: Groups are explained in the spec under the subheading {{Group and group sequence}} (section 3.4 in the 1.0 spec, section 4.4 in the current 1.1 draft [1]), where the direct quote, again, is "Groups are represented by interfaces." The statement is in a paragraph by itself, impossible to miss and seemingly quite direct in its intent.
Once again, I am completely amenable to the possibility of enabling this behavior with a property.

> The Bean Validation specification does not enforce that groups have to be interfaces. Non interface classes could be used as well, but we recommend to stick to interfaces.

> Suggested fix: remove the check from GroupsComputer.computeGroups.
