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

             Summary: JDK8 - Annotations on synthetic bridge methods break bval
                 Key: BVAL-129
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BVAL-129
             Project: BVal
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jsr303
    Affects Versions: 0.5, 1.1.0-alpha
         Environment: JDK8
            Reporter: Liam Miller-Cushon


As of jdk8, the java compiler now copies annotations onto synthetic bridge 
methods. See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6695379 for more 
information about the change. When javac creates synthetic copies of methods 
the method signatures are erased. This violates assumptions made by bval.

Consider the following example:

===
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Constraint(validatedBy = { MyValidator.class })
public @interface SomeAnnotation { … }

public static class MyValidator implements ConstraintValidator<SomeAnnotation, 
String> { … }

public interface Id<T> {
  T getId();
}

public static class ObjectToValidate implements Id<String> {
  @SomeAnnotation
  public String getId() { return null; }
}
===

The compiler creates a bridge method for ObjectToValidate.getId with the erased 
return type of Object. Prior to jdk8 this method had no annotations and was 
ignored by bval, but with the change in jdk8 the validation fails:

$ export 
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachinesLibrary/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/
 && mvn clean package exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="Test"
…
SUCCESS

$ export 
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home/ && mvn 
clean package exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="Test"
...

Proposed solution:

To preserve the behaviour bval had pre-jdk8, it can simply ignore the synthetic 
bridge methods. The following patch would accomplish this:

             String propName = null;
             if (method.getParameterTypes().length == 0) {
                 propName = MethodAccess.getPropertyName(method);
