验证类层次结构覆盖

是否可以覆盖hibernate/javax验证的类层次结构? 或者如何通过扩展类来覆盖参数验证?

使用 @Valid 注释,并在我的类中设置了javax验证注释。我想要一个扩展类,其中删除了验证。 我发现hibernate验证在整个类层次结构中循环,甚至在超级类中也会检查验证。 我使用Spring MVC设置的基于Json的REST API。

例子:

public class Parent {
    protected Integer numChildren;

    @NotNull(message = "NumChildren has to be set.") 
    @Size(min 1, max 10, message = "A partent has to have at least one kid.")
    public Integer getNumChildren() {
        return numChildren;
    }

    public void setNumChildren(Integer numChilds) {
        this.numChildren = numChilds;
    }
}

public class Child extends Parent {

    // A child doesnt have to have kids, but can, so I want to override this parameter
    // and remove the validation requirement, and make it just optional.
    @Override
    public Integer getNumChildren() {
        return super.numChildren;
    }
}
