[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HV-427) Can't find validator when type is interface type

Can't find validator when type is interface type ------------------------------------------------ Key: HV-427 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-427 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Components: engine Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta1 Environment: 4.2.0.beta1 Reporter: David J. M. Karlsen I have a interface TypeA and and implementation of it ConcreteTypeA implements TypeA. I have created a JSR-303 constraint both for ConcreteTypeA as well as TypeA - and pointed my constraint to them with @Constraint( validatedBy= ) - but still Hibernate does not find the validator for it: javax.validation.UnexpectedTypeException: No validator could be found for type: com.edb.payment.pays.core.model.account.NorwegianAccountNumber at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ConstraintTree.verifyResolveWasUnique(ConstraintTree.java:383) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ConstraintTree.findMatchingValidatorClass(ConstraintTree.java:364) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ConstraintTree.getInitializedValidator(ConstraintTree.java:313) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ConstraintTree.validateConstraints(ConstraintTree.java:144) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ConstraintTree.validateComposingConstraints(ConstraintTree.java:233) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ConstraintTree.validateConstraints(ConstraintTree.java:128) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ConstraintTree.validateConstraints(ConstraintTree.java:117) at org.hibernate.validator.metadata.MetaConstraint.validateConstraint(MetaConstraint.java:84) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ValidatorImpl.validateConstraint(ValidatorImpl.java:408) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ValidatorImpl.validateConstraintsForRedefinedDefaultGroup(ValidatorImpl.java:341) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ValidatorImpl.validateConstraintsForCurrentGroup(ValidatorImpl.java:325) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ValidatorImpl.validateInContext(ValidatorImpl.java:281) at org.hibernate.validator.engine.ValidatorImpl.validate(ValidatorImpl.java:129) at com.edb.payment.pays.core.util.validation.constraints.NorwegianAccountNumberValidatorTest.isValid(NorwegianAccountNumberValidatorTest.java:34) at com.edb.payment.pays.core.util.validation.constraints.NorwegianAccountNumberValidatorTest.assertValid(NorwegianAccountNumberValidatorTest.java:44) at com.edb.payment.pays.core.util.validation.constraints.NorwegianAccountNumberValidatorTest.testAValidAccountNumberWhichHasControlSumZero(NorwegianAccountNumberValidatorTest.java:74) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:48) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:600) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall(FrameworkMethod.java:44) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:15) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod.invokeExplosively(FrameworkMethod.java:41) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.InvokeMethod.evaluate(InvokeMethod.java:20) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.RunBefores.evaluate(RunBefores.java:28) at org.junit.rules.TestWatchman$1.evaluate(TestWatchman.java:48) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runNotIgnored(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:79) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:71) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:49) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:193) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:52) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:191) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:42) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:184) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:236) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit4.runner.JUnit4TestReference.run(JUnit4TestReference.java:49) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:467) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:683) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java:390) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:197) The same implementation works with Apache Bval: http://incubator.apache.org/bval/cwiki/downloads.html
