Improve quarkus-hibernate-reactive-rest-data-panache Hibernate Validation Violation Errors - Property Path

[StephenOTT]

Description

Currently when you generate violations such as:

Using a validator on a annotation that is used at the class level and using the generated POST method for entity creation/insert.

entity:

@Entity
@SomeClassLevelConstraint()
public class SomeEntity extends PanacheEntity {
....

Validator

...

public boolean isValid(Object value, ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
     context.buildConstraintViolationWithTemplate("some error").addPropertyNode("some path").addConstraintViolation().disableDefaultConstraintViolation();

...

This generates a json response of:

{
  "title": "Constraint Violation",
  "status": 400,
  "violations": [
    {
      "field": "add.arg0.somepath",
      "message": "some error"
    }
  ]
}

the add.arg0 appears to be coming from RestDataResource with the Entity add(Entity entity); method? (https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/blob/main/extensions/panache/rest-data-panache/runtime/src/main/java/io/quarkus/rest/data/panache/RestDataResource.java#L52)

Would be great if we could tailor this so the root makes sense for the output.

Implementation ideas
