[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-241) Support dependency injection within Bean Validation constraint validators

Support dependency injection within Bean Validation constraint validators ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-241 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-241 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Tracker Components: Java EE integration Reporter: Gunnar Morling Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed) CDI should integrate with Bean Validation to support dependency injection within BV {{ConstraintValidator}} implementations. From the BV 1.1 [spec early draft|http://beanvalidation.org/1.1/spec/#bootstrapping-usageandcontainer...]: {quote} Java EE should obey the rules defined above and enable Context and Dependency Injection (CDI) support to {{ValidatorFactory}} instances. In particular: * Let {{Validator}} and {{ValidatorFactory}} object be injectable. * Use a default {{ConstraintValidatorFactory}} implementation that returns CDI managed {{ConstraintValidator}} objects. The scope of these instances is dependent as the Bean Validation provider is responsible for them. * Provide CDI managed instances of {{ConstraintValidatorFactory}}, {{MessageInterpolator}} and {{TraversableResovler}} if customized classes are requested in the XML deployment descriptor. {quote}
