[hibernate-dev] HV 4.2 and joda-time jar CNFE issue (but used to work with HV 4.1) ...

[Gunnar Morling]

Hi,

I just had a short look into the relevant bits in HV.

What I think is that in
o.h.v.metadata.ConstraintHelper#isJodaTimeInClasspath() the class
org.joda.time.ReadableInstant can successfully be loaded. Otherwise
the Joda specific validator wouldn't be in the list of processed
validators in o.h.v.util.ValidatorTypeHelper (the Joda validator will
always be loaded if Joda is available also if constraints are
actually applied to java.util.Date/Calendar only).

The question then would be why the class is visible/available in the
first situation but not in the latter. Maybe the ValidatorFactoryImpl
is initialized in the context of the web module (where Joda is
available according to the last answer) but the actual validation
later on happens in the context of a JAR in the EAR.

So maybe it would help to put Joda into the <EAR>/lib directory
instead of WEB-INF/lib of the WAR.

Hth,

--Gunnar
