title: Activating bean validation in TomEE application specifically
body: <p>I am trying to activate bean validation in TomEE, but on the application level, not on the container level.</p>
  
  <p>According to <a href="http://tomee.apache.org/examples/bean-validation-design-by-contract/README.html" rel="nofollow">the documentation</a>, the correct property to set is <code>org.apache.openejb.default.system.interceptors = org.apache.openejb.bval.BeanValidationAppendixInterceptor</code>. Setting this in the <code>system.properties</code>, i.e. on container level, works fine. However, setting this in <code>application.properties</code> does not seem to enable the bean validation.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a specific reason why this should not be allowed? Or is it even a bug in TomEE?</p>
