I am having trouble validating the beans that we want to validate, and I have written everything needed and I am having this exception.

Please let me know, what is wrong.

Thanks.

Which constraints are you using? Built-in ones or custom constraints? Maybe you are using the @Digits constraints which needs to have a fraction specified. However, this value is mandatory so I am not sure how you code would even compile.
On the other hand you seem to use XML configuration. Maybe you just don't specify fraction for the @Digits constraint there?

The error message should be more descriptive though. I created https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HV-620.
