Hi,

i'm having a problem with Hibernate Validator "validation.xml" file.

The App EAR is build with JDK 1.5 version

Note: My App is dependent on the external Jar "jaxb-api.jar"

The App is coming up properly in my JBoss Server, when deployed application with JDK 1.5
But the app is throwing an exception when deployed with the JDK 1.6 version with the below classcast exception.

ERROR [main] (org.hibernate.validator.xml.ValidationXmlParser:235) 2010-06-24 08:49:33,344 - Error parsing validation.xml: ClassCastException: attempting to cast jar:file:/C:/jboss/server/project.ear/jaxb-api.jar!/javax/xml/bind/JAXBContext.class to jar:file:/C:/Java6/jre/lib/rt.jar!/javax/xml/bind/JAXBContext.class. Please make sure that you are specifying the proper ClassLoader


If i remove the "jaxb-api.jar" from the deployed EAR file, then the following exception is thrown.
ERROR 14734 [main] (org.hibernate.validator.xml.ValidationXmlParser) 2010-06-29 16:40:21,984 - Error parsing validation.xml: null


Please let me know, what could be the actual problem in this scenairo.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Hibernate Validator uses JAXB for the parsing of xml files. In Java 6 the JAXB classes are part of the runtime environment, whereas in Java 5 you need to add the right api and implementation jars. So when you are running on Java 6 you should not only remove the jaxb-api jar, but also the jaxb-impl jar.

Is there any other error message in the log file? Also ensure that you don't have any conflicting jar files in any shared or temporary work directory.

Hardy,
i removed both the jars "jaxb-api jar" and "jaxb-impl jar.", i got the same exception as below

ERROR 14734 [main] (org.hibernate.validator.xml.ValidationXmlParser) 2010-06-29 16:40:21,984 - Error parsing validation.xml: null

i see only jar jaxen.jar, not sure if this is colliding with the actual issue.

Below is the complete stack trace of the exception, this is causing on the bootstrap of the application

thanks in advance

My guess is still some conflicting libraries. Unfortunately, the ValidationException you see in your log file is currently swallowing the underlying JAXBException. Maybe you could try the Validator snapshot I just deployed here. The only change I made is to pass on the underlying exception. Maybe this will help to track down the cause for your issue.

Hardy,
i placed this jar file "hibernate-validator-4.2.0-20100629.132020-1.jar" and deployed the application.

Caused by: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException
- with linked exception:
[java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.ContextFactory]
at javax.xml.bind.ContextFinder.newInstance(ContextFinder.java:187)
at javax.xml.bind.ContextFinder.find(ContextFinder.java:363)

at javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext.newInstance(JAXBContext.java:522)
at org.hibernate.validator.xml.ValidationXmlParser.getValidationConfig(ValidationXmlParser.java:209)

other than this, i dont see any exception.

That is what we were after. So there are some underlying class problems. AFAICS com.sun.xml.bind.v2.ContextFactory comes from axb-impl-2.1.12.jar. This would indicate that you are not using the JAXB implementation as part of Java 6, but that there is still somewhere some older jaxb-api.jar.

Try scanning your jar files for xml related classes. Something like this:
