You can ovveride an annotation configured validation via xml configuration:

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/validator/4.2/reference/en-US/html_single/#validator-xmlconfiguration

In your case, if you declare a different validation (or no validation) for the getList() methid in the validation.xml file, it will override the @Size annotation.
