Inheritence of validator annotations

["Allen, Daniel" <Da...@kbcfp.com>]

Hi, all.

I have a superclass where almost all of the subclasses will require
several validations for a particular field, but one subclass will use
some but not all of those validations. I know that you can add
@SkipValidation to avoid all validators, but is there something that you
can use to mark a set() method as not using any of the validators on
overridden superclass methods?


Thanks,
~Dan Allen

I don't think such an annotation exists. It sounds like a useful 
enhancement.

Do you know whether the algorithm gives precedence to the first 
encountered occurrence (subclass), the last encountered (superclass) or 
merges all occurrences?  I suspect it is the last case but don't recall 
exactly.  If that's the case it's not a trivial fix.
