Hibernate Validator in Spring+OSGI

Hi all,

I'm using Hibernate Validator in Spring+OSGI environment and since it's not known to be OSGI friendly I follow the WA here:

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/734273

So below is my implementation:

Code:

public final static ValidatorFactory buildValidatorFactory()
{
   GenericBootstrap bootstrap = Validation.byDefaultProvider();
   
   final List<ValidationProvider<HibernateValidatorConfiguration>> providers = new ArrayList<ValidationProvider<HibernateValidatorConfiguration>>();
   providers.add(new HibernateValidator());
      
   bootstrap = bootstrap.providerResolver
   (
      new ValidationProviderResolver()
      {
         @SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" })
         @Override
         public List getValidationProviders(){return providers;}
      }
   );

   return bootstrap.configure().buildValidatorFactory();
}

And my Spring config is as simple as below:

Code:

<bean id="validator" class="com.mycompany.ValidatorFactoryBuilder" factory-method="buildValidatorFactory"/>

If I run w/o OSGI it run fine, but with OSGI during startup the execution seems to halt in class org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl in the following line:

Code:

static {
   Version.touch();
}

I'm using Hibernate Validator 5.2.2 Final.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Setya

Hi,

What exactly do you mean by "seems to halt in class org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl in the following line"? Are you stepping through this in a debugger and see the program blocked at some point?

What OSGi runtime is this btw.? We do have some OSGi integration tests and also provide an Apache Karaf features file (see https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-validator/tree/master/osgi), which may be helpful for you purposes.
