I have created an ear project for websphere, containing one project for my services, one for my domain model and one web project. The ear-lib directory contains all necessary libraries for the hibernate validation to work. The domain model contains my classes with the annotated properties for validation.

If set up richfaces at the web project with for the attached properties I retrieve a warning at the moment the validator should be called saying


I am using richfaces 3.3.3.Final and hibernate-validator 4.1.0.Final.

Any Ideas?

Probably some sort of packaging and class loader visibility issue.
