Bean validation does not work with mojarra 2.2.4

I am trying to use Hibernate Validator 5.0.1 and JSF2.2, but their integration seems to be broken since version mojarra 2.2.3. I created a small application to demonstrate the problem and get the exception "javax.servlet.ServletException: Expression error: Named object: javax.faces.Bean not found." when running on Tomcat 7.0.42.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I was able to fix this as follows:

 public static final String BEANS_VALIDATION_AVAILABILITY_CACHE_KEY = "javax.faces.BEANS_VALIDATION_AVAILABLE"; @PostConstruct private void init() { FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getApplicationMap().remove(BEANS_VALIDATION_AVAILABILITY_CACHE_KEY); FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getApplicationMap() .put(BeanValidator.VALIDATOR_FACTORY_KEY, Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory()); }

The problem appears to occur with Mojarra 2.2.3 - 2.2.6 on servlet containers such as Tomcat or Jetty, as Mojarra is trying to load bean validation via JNDI.

I discussed this with Ed Burns in JavaLand 2014, and this issue should be fixed using Mojarra 2.2.7 (see JAVASERVERFACES-3183 ).

This works with Mojara 2.2.2, but not with newer versions. Thanks to Michael for the hint. Here's another way to pre-configure Faces:

 public class FacesContextBootstrap implements ServletContextListener { public static final String BEANS_VALIDATION_AVAILABILITY_CACHE_KEY = "javax.faces.BEANS_VALIDATION_AVAILABLE"; @Override public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) { FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getApplicationMap().remove(BEANS_VALIDATION_AVAILABILITY_CACHE_KEY); FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getApplicationMap() .put(BeanValidator.VALIDATOR_FACTORY_KEY, Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory()); } @Override public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) { } }

Check the following:

 ApplicationFactory applicationFactory = (ApplicationFactory) FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.APPLICATION_FACTORY); applicationFactory.getApplication().addDefaultValidatorId(BeanValidator.VALIDATOR_ID); applicationFactory.getApplication().addValidator(BeanValidator.VALIDATOR_ID, BeanValidator.class.getName());
