I'm developing a webapp based on hibernate&validator&seam. Here is my dependency list:

Code:

      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.jboss.seam</groupId>
         <artifactId>jboss-seam</artifactId>
         <version>2.2.0.GA</version>
         <scope>compile</scope>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.jboss.seam</groupId>
         <artifactId>jboss-seam-ui</artifactId>
         <version>2.2.0.GA</version>
         <scope>compile</scope>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.jboss.seam</groupId>
         <artifactId>jboss-seam-mail</artifactId>
         <version>2.2.0.GA</version>
         <scope>compile</scope>
      </dependency>      
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
         <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
         <version>3.5.0-Beta-2</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
         <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
         <version>3.5.0-Beta-2</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
         <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
         <version>3.5.0-Beta-2</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
         <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
         <version>1.0.0.GA</version>
      </dependency>      
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
         <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
         <version>4.0.2.GA</version>
      </dependency>      

I'm getting the exception below while app goes up:

where does that class org.hibernate.validator.InvalidValue resides?

Hi,

InvalidValue is a class from the legacy validator (Validator 3.x). Seems to be a dependency problem.
Can you run 'mvn dependency:tree' to get a full list of all included dependencies (including transitive ones).

Have the same problem.

Code:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not create Component: org.jboss.seam.international.statusMessages

That class defines add and addToControls methods which parametrized with InvalidValue[].

But anyway I followed with your suggestion and re-checked that I have no older hibernate validator 3.x dependency.

I fixed this by replacing the dependency to hibernate-validator with something like

Code:

       <dependency>
         <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
         <version>4.0.2.GA</version>
         <artifactId>hibernate-validator-legacy</artifactId>
       </dependency>

It depends what you mean with fixing. By added hibernate-validator-legacy as a dependency you are basically back to using the old 3.x Validator (hence legacy). If this is what you want then great.

However, I would recommend to upgrade to Hibernate Validator 4.x since it implements the Bean Validation standard. In fact it is the official reference implementation.

I see your point.

However, I am currently working with Seam 2.2.0.GA (forgot to mention it earlier) and could not find any alternative other than using the old validator to avoid the ClassNotFoundException error mentioned by the initial poster. Is there a way to really fix this and use the new validator?

Thanks.

Upgrading Seam? Maybe ask the question at the Seam forum?

I had the same problem and resolved using:

Code:

      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
         <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
         <version>3.1.0.GA</version>
      </dependency>

3.1.0.GA is as mentioned the obsolete/legacy branch of Hibernate Validator. Adding this dependency probably makes the exception disappears, but you are still not using Bean Validation.
