Description

Currently the @BeanValidation tag only supports definition of explicit groups in useGroups. There is no possibility to declare a GroupSequence. Therefore the @BeanValidation annotation can't be used as a total replacement of the JSF f.validateBean tag.

Example:

Declaration of the sequence:
@GroupSequence(

{Default.class, IUiGroupStage2.class}

)
public interface IUiGroupSequence {

Usage in f.validateBean works fine:
<f:validateBean validationGroups="xxx.IGroupSequence">

Declaring the GroupSequence in ExtVal does not work:
@BeanValidation(useGroups=IUiGroupSequence.class)
