Interface HibernateValidatorEnhancedBean

@Incubating public interface HibernateValidatorEnhancedBean
Hibernate Validator specific marker interface. Beans implementing this interface would use corresponding $$_hibernateValidator_getFieldValue(String) and $$_hibernateValidator_getGetterValue(String) methods to retrieve bean property values instead of using reflection or any other means.

It is important to keep in mind that in case of explicit implementation of this interface access to all possible constrained getters and fields should be provided, for a class implementing the interface and all its super classes as well. Otherwise unexpected IllegalArgumentException could be thrown by the Hibernate Validator engine.
