[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HV-262) Using interface in xml configuration does not work

Using interface in xml configuration does not work -------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-262 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-262 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Components: mapping Affects Versions: 4.0.0.GA Environment: Linux Ubuntu, Hibernate Validator 4.0.0.GA Reporter: Michenaud Laurent Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Fix For: 4.0.1 I want to use xml configuration to define the constraints but it doesnot seem to work when i use interface. It works when i use the implementation instead. When i say it doesnot work, it means there is no error at loading the mapping but the validator validates nothing. This below configuration doesnot work. IMyClass is an interface. <constraint-mappings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/mapping validation-mapping-1.0.xsd" xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/mapping"> <default-package>org.mypackage</default-package> <bean class="IMyClass" ignore-annotations="true"> <getter name="id" ignore-annotations="true"> <constraint annotation="javax.validation.constraints.NotNull"/> </getter> </bean> </constraint-mappings> With this configuration, it works. MyClassImpl is a class that implements IMyClass. <constraint-mappings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/mapping validation-mapping-1.0.xsd" xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/mapping"> <default-package>org.mypackage</default-package> <bean class="MyClassImpl" ignore-annotations="true"> <getter name="id" ignore-annotations="true"> <constraint annotation="javax.validation.constraints.NotNull"/> </getter> </bean> </constraint-mappings>
