Validator cannot find validation.xml unless is placed in /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BVAL-200
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-200
             Project: Bean Validation
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ri-general - obsolete go to HValidator
         Environment: Java SE 1.5.0_10; Hibernate Validator 4.0.2.GA.
            Reporter: Cris Webber
            Priority: Minor


Hibernate Validator requires that the validation.xml file is placed in the META-INF directory in order to load it. 

In the case of having a WAR file, placing the validation.xml file in /META-INF (at the same level as the WEB-INF directory) does not work, as Hibernate Validator cannot find the file there. Placing the file in /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF worked fine. I believe this is just a workaround and Hibernate Validator should be able to find validation.xml in /META-INF.
