JPA should allow for a bean validator factory per persistence unit or per application deployment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: WFLY-409 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-409 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: JPA / Hibernate Reporter: Scott Marlow Labels: open_to_community Fix For: 8.0.0.Beta1 Currently, a new bean validator factory instance is associated with each deployed persistence unit. This jira calls for adding a new PU property that specifies that a 'per app bean validator factory' should be used for a persistence unit (via a persistence unit property). This can be controlled by a new persistence unit property (see existing ones [here|https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/JPA+Reference+Guide#JPARe...]). The new property can be something like "org.jboss.as.jpa.shareValidatorFactory" which defaults to false. Look at org.jboss.as.jpa.processor.PersistenceUnitDeploymentProcessor.deployPersistenceUnit() to make this change.
