[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HV-302) JAXB shouldn't be required when not using XML configuration

JAXB shouldn't be required when not using XML configuration ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-302 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-302 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Improvement Components: engine Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Beta1 Reporter: Gunnar Morling Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Fix For: 4.1.0 By calling Configuration#ignoreXmlConfiguration() any XML config files (validation.xml, mapping XML files) are ignored by HV. Nevertheless JAXB is required on the class path, as in any case the class org.hibernate.validator.xml.XmlMappingParser (which imports javax.xml.bind.*) is loaded, also if no XML mapping files are to be processed. XmlMappingParser should only be loaded, when at least one XML mapping exists. While this makes no difference when running on Java 6 (as JAXB is part of the Java runtime itself), this allows to use HV on Java 5 without adding JAXB (and its transitive dependencies) to the class path. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
