Matt Benson commented on BVAL-109:
----------------------------------
To be pedantic, hat is Hibernate Validator's own documentation, rather than
"the Bean Validation specification." The specification itself says plainly:
"Groups are represented by interfaces." I am well-aware that Hibernate
Validator is the RI and that its developers include many members of the EG
including the spec lead, but my evaluation is that this is an
implementation-specific issue. I would prefer that Apache BVal's default
behavior remain as-is, although we could possibly enable support with an
implementation-specific property.
