Re: [bv-dev] BVAL-238 Dependency injection in ConstraintViolation

you are right in case of a java-ee6 application server (however e.g. with openwebbeans it's up to you if you add the plugin with the corresponding producers). however, before we continue we might have to think again about the original issue. the original topic is: dependency injection support e.g. for ConstraintValidator implementations. to be more concrete: dependency injection via @Inject (= jsr330 which is also the basis for other containers like spring and google guice). -> if we are just discussing cdi support, we can just specify that directly - e.g. a cdi implementation has to provide a ConstraintValidatorFactory which has to query the bean-manager -> we are done. that would mean: - no support of other dependency injection containers (= no pure jsr330 support) - manual bootstrapping behaves differently (even if cdi,... would be available) regards, gerhard 2012/1/4 Emmanuel Bernard <emmanuel(a)hibernate.org&gt; You mean somebody with an application having the following producer will conflict with the proposal. ``` @Produces ValidatorFactory produceValidatorFactory() {...} //or @Produces Validator produceValidator() {...} ``` Is that correct? I am a bit surprised though. Validator and ValidatorFactory are already provided by CDI 1.0 so I imagine a non qualified producer like the on atop would already conflict. Am I right?
