Seam without hibernate: Please make org.jboss.seam.core.Validators independent from Hibernate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3247 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-3247 Project: Seam 2 Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 2.0.2.GA Reporter: Francisco Jose Peredo Noguez Assignee: Pete Muir Labels: hibernate_validation, seam_independence, seam_validation Fix For: 2.1.0.BETA1 I think org.jboss.seam.core.Validators should implement and interface, so that it could be possible to replace it with one that doesn't use org.hibernate.validator.ClassValidator I guess with that we could say that Seam can be used in a 100% free of Hibernate way I really like Hibernate, but sometimes, for really simple projects, or for projects full of interactions with stored procedures , it might be overkill or innapropiate, so it would be nice to be able to use Seam without having any Hibernate dependencies.
