Description

We should follow Hibernate's example (uggh) of assuming the property name matches the field name; we could then add field annotations to the search path for property annotations (that already includes searching the getter and the setter).

This would make Tapestry + Groovy that much nicer, as validation and other annotations could go directly on the fields.
