  • 0

I am currently working on Spring MVC web app and trying to hook up validation using the @Valid annotation. When I fire up the application I’m getting the following exception:

javax.validation.ValidationException: Unable to find a default provider

I have Hibernate Validator 3.1.0.GA on the classpath as well as javax validation 1.0.0.GA, Hibernate Core 3.3.1.GA and Hibernate Annotations 3.4.0.GA.

Is there an incompatiblity in those versions that I’m not seeing, or can anyone think of any reason why I’m still getting this exception with Hibernate Validator on the class path?

Cheers,

Caps

    Hibernate Validator 3.1 is not a JSR303 provider. You need to upgrade to Hibernate Validator 4 or later.
