Everything works. After fresh app start calling validation of DTO having validation defined in validation-constraints.xml will FAIL, and after that, calling validation of annotated DTO will also FAIL. Now every validation FAILS. Biggest problem is, that if xml-based path is hit first, all validations (probably subset using relevant custom validators) fails. tested in springboot: * 2.7.12 * 3.1.0 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HV-1949#add-comment?atlOrigin=eyJp... ) Add Comment ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HV-1949#add-comment?atlOrigin=eyJp... ) Get Jira notifications on your phone!
