Emmanuel Bernard resolved BVAL-200.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

That's the intended behavior. We use the same logic Java Persistence uses.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: ri-general - obsolete go to HValidator
>         Environment: Java SE 1.5.0_10; Hibernate Validator 4.0.2.GA.

> 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.
