Hi,

We are currently using Hibernate JPA 3.2.6 together with Hibenate validator. We are using the provided standard validation annotations (like @NotNull, @Max, ...) but also are using our own validation annotations.

We want to turn off auto validation when saving newly created entities, since these entities are in a draft state. The user has to manually correct the entities after saving them. We already found a good description for a solution http://www.nearinfinity.com/blogs/page/ ... hibernate1 , but this isn't directly working when using JPA.

Our first problem is disabling the standard validateEventlistener. we set the property "hibernate.validator.autoregister_listeners" to 2false" in the persistence.xml. But the standard validation is still triggered. We also tried using the JPA annotation @ExcludeDefaultListeners, which also did not disable the standard validation.

Any hints regarding this problem are welcome ;-)

Best regards,
Matthias

Hi,

setting the property to false should work. Maybe you can post your persistence.xml file? You could debug AnnotationConfiguration.buildSessionFactory() to see if what's happening in there. In fact I am wondering which version of Annotations you are using?
