The fact that we can't switch to the container managed ValidatorFactory/Validator
Why can't you use the container factory? See my comment above, you could retrieve it via JNDI.
the suggested workaround won't work for us
Why shouldn't it work? You surely could bootstrap a validator factory with a custom provider resolver as shown above and expose this as Spring bean.
I think both options - a) use the container VF via JNDI, b) bootstrap a VF yourself with a custom resolver - should be doable, or am I missing something?
