[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (BVAL-238) Support for container injection in ConstraintValidator

[Gunnar Morling (JIRA)]

Gunnar Morling commented on BVAL-238:
-------------------------------------

I'd definitely like to see some sort of DI support for constraint validators. 

I'm not sure thought what we could do to achieve this from a Bean Validation point of view. Wouldn't that be the responsibility of the DI container? Spring already has support for this and for CDI there is besides CODI also [Seam Validation|http://seamframework.org/Seam3/ValidationModule]. It might be a good idea to standardize that in the CDI spec.

Maybe you could provide some more information on the kind of support you have in mind?

> E.g. MyFaces CODI supports it already for CDI (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXTCDI-20), however as mentioned in http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES_SPEC_PUBLIC-763 a generic support would have to support JSR-330 (instead of JSR-299). The final approach has to be coordinated with all other JSRs which are going to provide such an injection support.
