Hi,

Can somebody please let me know the actual differences between or point me a link of the release notes.
HibernateValidator-3.1.0.GA
HibernateValidator-4.0.2.GA

Currently i'm using 3.1.0.GA and need to upgrade to 4.0.2GA (latest version)

Thanks in advance
Murthy

Have a look at this - What's the difference between Hibernate Validator 3.x and 4.x

Upgrading the actual constraints should not be too hard. Updating the actual validation calls might be more tricky depending how you are using Validator. Do you call the validation framework yourself? Do you use it in conjunction with Hibernate Core and validation occurs on life-cycle events? Or do you use Validator as part of a third part framework? Depending on the situation switching from 3.x to 4.x might be more or less work.

HI,

I'm using Hibernate validator along with Hibernate Core.
actually i'm upgrading hibernate from 3.3.x to 3.5.2 version, and in this annotations are part of 3.5.2 version.
and so trying to upgrade the Hibernate validator as well.

For eg:
============
The below classes are not available in Hibernate Validator 4.0.2GA version, whereas it is avaialble in 3.1.0GA version

org.hibernate.validator.ValidatorClass
org.hibernate.validator.Length
org.hibernate.validator.NotNull

Thanks
Murthy

Hi,

org.hibernate.validator.ValidatorClass -> obsolete
org.hibernate.validator.Length -> org.hibernate.validator.constraints.Length
org.hibernate.validator.NotNull -> javax.validation.constraints.NotNull

I recommend you check the Hibernate Validator online documentation - http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/ ... ml_single/
