Hi,

I'm using GlassFish V3 Java EE 6 which supports already JSR303.
I'm not able to use validation.xml to set the constraint-mapping to my XML
It's still referringt to the Class Constraint Annotations. And even if they are removed, no validation occurs.

I have placed the validation.xml under META-INF/validation.xml
and my Test Class

@BeforeClass
public static void setUp() {
ValidatorFactory factory = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory();
validator = factory.getValidator();
}

Am I missing something?

If validation.xml is found in the META-INF directory of your classpath it should be picked up. If there is an error in the xml there should be an exception. My guess is that it is not picked up from some reason. Do you have hibernate debug trace enabled? If so look through the first few messages from Hibernate Validator when it bootstraps. If validation.xml is not found you should see something like this:
