Error description
User created several custom composite constraints for use with the Bean Validation framework. These constraints used the annotation @ReportAsSingleViolation to override the violation reporting from the individual constraints. When a Java class where several fields are annotated with these custom constraints, it showed unusual behavior. If a field results in a violation, all remaining fields are also flagged as violation. This issue appears to be related to the following BVAL JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BVAL-116
Local fix
No work around can be done at this time,
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.5.0 and V8.5.5 who make use of * * Bean Validation and the annotation * * @ReportAsSingleViolation. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Using @ReportAsSingleViolation causes * * multiple errors to be reported. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Take the following example: @NotNull @Size(min = 2, max = 10) ...... @ReportAsSingleViolation public @interface MyInterface { Because @ReportAsSingleViolation is being used, only one violation should be reported for a violation such as null values. However, the potential exists for multiple violations to occur when just one violation occurs.
Problem conclusion
With this fix, code has been added to Bean Validation to ensure that the @ReportAsSingleViolation operations function as expected. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 8.5.5.1 of WebSphere Application Server versions 8.5.5.
