Description

it should be possible to use custom types (+ converters for it) and constraints in such custom types should be validated if @Valid is used at the bound property.
cascaded validation should be performed if there is no violated constraint of the property itself.

example:

public class CustomType
{
@NotNull
private String property1;

@Size(min = 3)
private String property2;

public CustomType(String property1, String property2)

{ this.property1 = property1; this.property2 = property2; }

public String getProperty1()

{ return property1; }

public String getProperty2()

{ return property2; }

}

public class MyBean
{
@NotNull
@Valid
private CustomType property;

public CustomType getProperty()

{ return property; }

public void setProperty(CustomType property)

{ this.property = property; }

}

//custom converter
//...

-> #

{myBean.property}
