Cannot Inject Validator using @Inject ------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-3088 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3088 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: CDI / Weld Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Final Reporter: Sat B Assignee: Eduardo Martins I have a very simple bean and I am trying to inject the Validator using the @Inject annotation. But I am ending up getting a null when I try to use the Validator. I have the beans.xml defined to bean-discovery-mode="all". Below is the code -------- import javax.inject.Inject; import javax.validation.ConstraintViolation; import javax.validation.Validation; import javax.validation.Validator; import javax.validation.ValidatorFactory; import javax.validation.constraints.*; import java.util.Map; import java.util.Set; public class SimpleCommand { @Inject private Validator validator; @Email private String email; public SimpleCommand(){ } public SimpleCommand(Map<String, String[]> params){ this.email = params.get("email")!=null ? params.get("email")[0] : null; } public void validate(){ //USING VALIDATOR THAT IS INJECTED IS NULL HERE //USING THE BELOW METHOD WORKS ValidatorFactory factory = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory(); Validator validator1 = factory.getValidator(); Set<ConstraintViolation<SimpleCommand>> contstraintViolations = validator1.validate(this); //USING INJECTED VALIDATOR WILL THROW NULL POINTER EXCEPTION for (ConstraintViolation<SimpleCommand> violation : contstraintViolations){ System.out.println(violation.getMessage()); } } } -------- Then, from a JAX-RS controller, I call this validator ------ SimpleCommand cmd = new SimpleCommand(req.getParameterMap()); cmd.validate(); -----
