Trying bean validation 2.0 with 5.3.2.

I am trying to validate the following property using beanvalidation API and 5.3.2 version of the validator.

@Valid
public List<@NotNull String> strings;

When I try to validate it with the list ["1", null, "2"] it succeeds even though I expect it to fail due to the NULL value.
Looking at the ValidatorImpl class it appears to skip over the validation in the validatePropertyForSingleDefaultGroupElement method because metaConstraints are empty (typeUseConstraints are not empty).

Do I need to declare something else to make this work?

Thanks,
Alex

Which method on `Validator` are you invoking? I reckon it's validateValue() or validateProperty()? Note that cascaded validation isn't supported for these in the BV spec, although HV (the implementation) is trying to do it. If you file an issue in our JIRA tracker with a small but complete example, we can try and take a look.

Btw. BV 2.0 is in the works currently, HV 5.3.2 implements BV 1.1. We already have experimental support for collection element constraints as you are trying to use them in there, but it's a proprietary feature currently and specific semantics may change once the feature is standardized in BV 2.0.
