Hi,

I'm using seam 1.2.1 and tried it with both Jboss AS 4.0.5 and 4.2. The hibernate validator @CreditCardNumber is not validating the credit card number form input.

I did look deep in to it and found out the hibernate-annotations.jar used by JBoss has validator classes in it. But I do not see CreditCardNumber class in the jar file. I think JBoss(both 4.0.5 and 4.2) is using an old version hibernate-validator classes. Even other validators like @Digits etc. are not part of it. So I think it is not seam problem.

Has anyone come across this issue? How do I use the latest version of hibernate-validator? I tried updating the one used by Jboss but it didn't seem to like it. I hoped 4.2 might be using the latest one but it does not either.

I tried adding the jar in WEB-INF/lib of my application but it does not work either.

Thanks.

I know it's lame I fought for it.
replace in JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib
hibernate-annotations.jar
hibernate-commons-annotations.jar
hibernate-validator.jar

It should work

Thanks. I also had to replace hibernate3.jar and it worked.

I see the following behaviour with using @CreditCardNumber:

If the number has all alphabets, it does not do any validation. Is it a known behaviour?

Hum it inherits the Luhn algorithm implementation that needs to discard alphabetic data.
My idea to inherit this feature was to handle
1234567890123456
1234 5678 9012 3456
1234-5678-9012-3456

etc
