XML validation is not working

Hi All,

I am testing bean validation using XMl and here is code from my

Code:

validation.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<validation-config
    xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configurationvalidation-configuration-1.0.xsd">
    <constraint-mapping>org/demo/actions/modeldriven.xml</constraint-mapping>
</validation-config>

and modeldriven.xml have following data

Code:

<constraint-mappings
xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/mapping"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/mapping validation-mapping-1.0.xsd">
  
    <bean class="com.raisonne.bd.dto.donor.DonorProfileDTOModel" ignore-annotations="true">
        <field name="name">
            <constraint annotation=" javax.validation.constraints.NotNull"/>
        </field>
        
         <field name="dateOfBirth">
            <constraint annotation=" org.hibernate.validator.constraints.NotBlank"/>
        </field>
          <field name="gender">
            <constraint annotation=" org.hibernate.validator.constraints.NotBlank"/>
        </field>
        
         <field name="weight">
            <constraint annotation="javax.validation.constraints.NotNull"/>
              <constraint annotation="javax.validation.constraints.Min">
               <element name="value">45</element>
              
              </constraint>
         </field>
       
        <field name="mobile">
            <constraint annotation=" javax.validation.constraints.Size"/>
        </field>
      
    </bean>
    
</constraint-mappings>

I tried every way, but seems like hibernate validator is not picking up modeldriven.xml.I tested with fully qualified class name like

Code:

<bean class="com.raisonne.bd.dto.donor.DonorProfileDTOModel" ignore-annotations="true">

and even with setting default package name like

Code:

 <default-package>com.raisonne.bd.dto.donor</default-package>
 <bean class="DonorProfileDTOModel" ignore-annotations="true">

This is what i am getting in server console

Code:

 INFO (org.hibernate.validator.internal.xml.ValidationXmlParser:191) - HV000007: META-INF/validation.xml found. Parsing XML based configuration.

Not sure why it is not including modeldriven.xml file

Seems like nothing is working.
Can any one point me where i am doing wrong..

Hi,

Do you get any sort of exception or are the XML based constraints silently ignored? Some more questions:

* Do you see something like "Trying to open input stream for ...modeldriven.xml" in your output? If that's the case the file at least gets parsed.
* How do you bootstrap your validator?
* Which version of HV is this?

Hi Gunnar,

I am able to solve issue.Hibernate was able to locate as well parse XML file but i was not placing @valid annotation on my Bean model as i was thinking that in case of XML validation, we need not to have this annotation.

Placing @valid on bean object solved this issue.

Thanks

Ok, great that it's working now.

Note that you also can mark elements for cascaded validation via XML by specifying the <valid/> element. Do so you should be able to work without using any annotations at all.
