Geoffrey De Smet commented on ANN-318:
--------------------------------------

Using the class validator also requires javax.persistence.Entity at runtime,
which is a more annoying issue then missing org.hibernate.MappingException
if you're building with Maven 2, because ejb3 isn't available on maven central repo (yet?).


For spring-richclient I am making an exception handler for hibernate validations,
so it doesn't need hibernate/ejb3.
(In my company project I am using hibernate to the fullest (and loving it btw)
so there the dependencies don't pose a prob.)

Do you think it's easy enough to do to seperate the validator from hibernate-annotations?
Are you already building with Maven 2?
If so, I 'd love to take a look as setting up won't take half a day, but can't promise I 'll succeed.
If not, maybe in time I can help you make a maven 2 proof of concept (like I did for spring-richclient)?

> I'd like to use the validator framework, but without pulling hibernate in as a dependency.
> Currently, if I try to instantiate a ClassValidator, a org.hibernate.MappingException cannot be found.
> Consequently, the validator framework could also be independent of the rest of the annotations, and be distributed in its own jar.
