Hi

This may be a very newbie question but... I'd like to use Hibernate 3.3.2.GA, Validator 4.0.2.GA and Spring 3 RC2...

It seems that there is no way to set up the usual pre-insert/pre-update listeners

Some example refer to org.hibernate.cfg.beanvalidation.BeanValidationEventListener
but that class does not seem to be in any GA Jar...

Is there a way to set this up with GA jars only (no beta at work!)

If not, has someone managed to write a class to do this? Or should I grab BeanValidationEventListener from the 3.5.0 beta source tree?
(this however seems to require more classes)

Many thanks

Benoit

If you really want to use only GA jars you have to have your own copy of BeanValidationEvenListener and the other classes it needs (I think it is only one more, max two). The listeners are currently part of Hibernate 3.5 (currently beta2).
Otherwise have a look at this thread - viewtopic.php?f=9&t=999747 , but I guess you might have seen it already :)

Thanks for replying.

I had a look at this thread indeed. I found it strange that the GAs were not consistent...

I've added the BeanValidationEvenListener + 2 classes from the 3.5 trunk (hopefully they should work) but I noticed that on launch of my Spring Application the log says that it did NOT find a Hibernate Validator in the path... Am I right in assuming that this is an invalid message as the hibernate 3.3.2 code is trying to load a class that is no longer in the Validator 4.0.2.GA jar? But that should not matter since I've added the pre-insert and pre-update listener?

I have not had a chance to try to store something invalid yet...

Thanks & regards

Hi,

not sure what this message means in Spring. You might want to ask this on the Spring forum. If validation works I would assume it's correct.

The message is a Hibernate 3.3.2 message which, I believe, is the result of searching for a hardcode class name in the path.
This class is no longer in Hibernate-validator 4.0.2.GA and therefore it sends this warning...

I'll check on Monday whether the validation is happening...

Thanks
