I think it depends on the specific case how easy or hard this will be to achieve. If it's something rather isolated such as a specific user type it's easy, but in other cases it's more painful (e.g. marking annotation types as repeatable cannot really be done in a backwards-compatible manner, so it needs effectively two variants of such an annotation). --Sanne > > On 28 July 2014 07:36, Gunnar Morling <gun...@hibernate.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Java 8 introduced a new type Optional which may be used to represent > > objects which may be set or not set: > > > > private Optional<String> name; > > > > Hibernate Validator will allow to validate properties of this type in the > > next release.
