[Resteasy-developers] Only validate certain methods

[Kariem H. <kar...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have some problems with configuring whether I want to validate the
payload provided by the client using the bean validation 1.1 provider.

According to the documentation [1], I only have to declare my own provider
and override whatever I want. I decided to just override
"isMethodValidatable":

---- start
public class AnnotatedMethodValidator extends GeneralValidatorImpl {
...
@Override
 public boolean isMethodValidatable(Method m) {
return m.getAnnotation(Valid.class) != null && super.isMethodValidatable(m);
 }
}
---- end

As you can see, I only want to perform validation, if the method is annoted
with @javax.validation.Valid.

This class is initialized from a custom registered provider (implementing
ContextResolver<GeneralValidator>). The only problem I have now is that
instead of using my custom implementation, the default implementation
(....validation.ValidatorContextResolver) is still used.

When debugging the code, I saw that
ResteasyProviderFactory.getContextResolver [2] just loads the first context
resolver for the type, which happens to be the default implementation
instead of mine. Is there a non-dirty method I have overseen to put mine in
the front or override the default implementation?

I have tried using META-INF/services//javax.ws.rs.Providers and registering
the provider in my Guice module.

Thank you very much for your help.

Bye,
Kariem
