---------------------------

             Summary: "No validator could be found for type ..." for overloaded 
methods with more specific return type
                 Key: BVAL-125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BVAL-125
             Project: BVal
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.5
         Environment: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132)
Linux 3.11.10-7-desktop x86_64

Example:

import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.util.Set;
import javax.validation.ConstraintViolation;
import javax.validation.Validation;
import javax.validation.ValidatorFactory;

public class App {
  public static interface Identifiable {
    Object getId();
  }
  public static class Test implements Identifiable {
    @javax.validation.constraints.Pattern(regexp = "\\w+")
    public String getId() {
      return "ok";
    }
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ValidatorFactory vf = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory();
    Test test = new Test();
    System.out.println("methods: ");
    for(Method m: test.getClass().getMethods()) {
      System.out.println("  " + m);
    }
    Set<ConstraintViolation<Test>> set = vf.getValidator().validate(test);
    System.out.println("set:" + set);
  }
}

Print to ouput stream: 

methods: 
  public java.lang.String ru.kih.test.App$Test.getId()
  public java.lang.Object ru.kih.test.App$Test.getId()
  ... other methods was skipped ...
