[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-523) Hibernate validator must be a fragment of javax.validation and should easily plug with extenders

Hibernate validator must be a fragment of javax.validation and should easily plug with extenders ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HV-523 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-523 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Components: engine Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Final Environment: Osgi Reporter: Charlie Mordant Priority: Blocker Labels: LocalValidatorFactoryBean, OSGI, Spring-DM, validation Fix For: 5.x Attachments: orthank-sample.third-parties.bval.zip, orthank-sample.zip It's for now about impossible to plug hibernate validators in an osgi environment with extenders like spring-dm. I've found multiple blog entries explaining the bootstrapping issue of validation api. http://katastrophos.net/magnus/blog/2009/07/18/having-fun-with-jsr-303-be... http://www.jasonday.net/content/jsr-303-bean-validation-and-spring-mvc-sl... I'm not an OSGI expert, so I think you'll better understand the problem than me. The problem remains that validation api is not usable in a valuable osgi environment for now (spring-dm, blueprint...). Regards, Charlie Thank you to investigate on this problem, I give you a sample project in order to test it ('mvn pax:provision -Dframework=equinox' in order to run the server).
