I did a snapshot release of the BV deployers and integrated into Branch_5_x. Current State of things: * The BV Factory is created and added to the DeploymentUnit by the BV deployer * The BV Factory from the DeploymentUnit is added to application scope for use by JSF. JSF/BV integration is working. * The BV Factory is bound to global JNDI at /BeanValidatorFactories/<DeploymentUnit.getSimpleName()> We know the JNDI part is wrong, so there will be changes. But hopefully those of you waiting on this stuff can now make further progress. Stan View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4255361#...
