Hi Gerhard, thanx for quick response. I tracked down the problem that the Annotation (@BeanValidation) is not available on objectToInspect.getClass() in ExtValBeanValidationMetaDataInternals#transferGroupValidationInformationToFoundGroups.
objectToInspect.getClass() returns a bytecode enhanced proxy class (...Dlg_$$_javassist_85) where I can see only the @RequestScoped Annotation from CDI. Besides @BeanValidation also the @Named Annotation from CDI is missing. I don't know if this behavior of a byte code proxy is correct!? I would expect that at least Annotations from Retention CLASS and RUNTIME are also available on the proxies. I also wonder a little why ExtValBeanValidationMetaDataInternals#processClass does not use the classToInspect (Unproxied Class) to gather the Annotations. If this method would pass classToInspect instead of objectToInspect to the #transferGroupValidationInformationToFoundGroups everything should be fine. Any help with this issue is appreciated!
