Break hibernate-annotations.jar on server/lib into three (the original ones) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HIBERNATE-109 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HIBERNATE-109 Project: Hibernate Integration Issue Type: Feature Request Environment: Windowx XP 32 Bits Reporter: Rodolfo Rothganger Labels: Lib, Server Currently I am developing an application that includes hibernate-3.2.6.jar and hibernate annotations WITHOUT hibernate validator on a proper classloading isolation (EAR) config. Since hibernate relies on the presence of validator classes to enable/disbale validation (regardless of the classloader it´s associate with, child or parent) I had to remove the hibernate-annotations.jar from my server/lib directory and replace it with a version WITHOUT hibernate-validator. My request is: to break the hibernate-annotations.jar file in three (the original ones): hibernate-annotations.jar, hibernate-core-annotations.jar and hibernate-validator.jar. Note: the actual problem is not the presence of hibernate-validator on the classpath but the fact that this is an outdated non-compatible with hibernate 3.2.6 version.
