Hey,

You don't need an Entity-Validator (which is your CustomFooValidator). You
can just use a Pattern validator in the property in the Foo type.

public class Foo
{
      [Pattern(....)] //Pattern is for regex
      public string SomeProperty {get;set;}
}

And then you still can have this:

[Valid]
public virtual IList<Foo> newNameofthisCollection.

And remember, the custom validator comes in two flavors: Entity and Member
(Property or Field) Validator.

Another solution, remember that you can use Constraint Validator Context,
that is, you can disable the default error in a Entity-Validator and add new
custom messages in the validator.
https://nhcontrib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nhcontrib/trunk/src/NHibernate.Validator/src/NHibernate.Validator.Tests/ConstraintContext/
And with Constraint Validator Context you can point an Error Message to a
member directly, even using Entity-Validator.

Cheers
