We use hibernate-validator to validate REST request body param。And it has nothind deal with hibernate-core. But recently we add new component "hibernate-core" into our project to do something about data persistence. Then we accidently found that our service threads were permanently fall into a "while" loop.
The stack is here:

We check the code and find the class "CachingJPATraversableResolverForSingleValidation" has a java doc notification: "It works only for a single validate* call and should not be used if

is accessed concurrently." We do have to call "ValidatorImpl.validate" concurrently, but we just use hibernate-validator to validating only, and didn't mean to use CachingJPATraversableResolverForSingleValidation.

My question is: Are there any way to use hibernate-validator only and don't let it to call anything about hibernate-core when validating params?
