Cannot pass ValidatorFactory into PersistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(PersistenceUnitInfo, Map) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4736 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4736 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager Affects Versions: 3.5.0-Beta-2 Reporter: Mike Youngstrom Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik The javadocs for PersistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(PersistenceUnitInfo, Map) says: If a Bean Validation provider is present in the classpath, the container must pass the ValidatorFactoryinstance in the map with the key "javax.persistence.validation.factory". However, all non string values are stripped from the provided Map by Ejb3Configuration.configure(PersistenceUnitInfo, Map):463, ConfigurationHelper.overrideProperties() making it impossible to pass a ValidatorFactory using the "map". Passing a ValidatorFactory into PersistenceProvider.createEntityManagerFactory(String, Map) works fine since Ejb3Configuration.configure(String, Map) doesn't strip all non Strings from the map. As a work around it appears a ValidatorFactory can be passed into the properties of the PersistenceUnitInfo. Thanks, Mike
