public class Register {
    @NotNull private String password;
    @NotNull private String passwordRepeat;
    @AssertTrue private boolean comparePasswords() { 
       return password.equals(passwordRepeat);
    }
    private Set<ConstraintViolation<Register>> violations;
    public void doRegister(AjaxBehaviorEvent event) {
        Validator validator = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().getValidator();
        violations = validator.validate(this);
        if(violations.isEmpty()) {
            // This occurs
        }
    }
}
My validation will pass if both my passwords are not null, but they are different. Seems like the last constraint will not be taken into account, though I do not have a clue why. Does anyone have suggestion?
And no, I am not searching for any implementations of @Matches or simular custom validators. I just would like to get this problem solved.
Thanks in advance.
Update 1
I have run some tests regarding this, hopefully the results will provide needed information.

                examplesMatch() is not a valid Java Beans boolean property getter. It needs to start with get or is.
