 public ModelAndView Details(@ModelAttribute("") @Validated App app, BindingResult result, @RequestParam(value="paramSessionAttr", required=false) String sessionAttr, @RequestParam("paramAction") @NotNull @NotEmpty String param_action){ ... }

When I implement @NotNull @NotEmpty annotation validator in getParam its cause error said :

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'appController' defined in file [C:\apache-tomcat-8.0.29\wtpwebapps\Application Portal\WEB-INF\classes\com\controller\AppController.class]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.controller.AppController]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: 
The type javax.validation.Payload cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
The import javax.validation cannot be resolved

Using hibernate-validator-5.2.2.jar Tomcat 8.0 spring-4.2.3.jar

When I Import javax.validator which is validation-api-1.1.0.jar [JSR-349] its cause this error,

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.OptionalValidatorFactoryBean#0': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl

When I remove @NotNull @NotEmpty and validation-api-1.1.0.final working fine.

When I import validation-api-1.1.0.final without @NotNull @NotEmpty I got this error

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.OptionalValidatorFactoryBean#0': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl

I tried download from other source and import validation-api-1.1.0.final I also got the same error as above.

I have found org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl in hibernate-validator-5.2.2-Final.jar

servlet Possible bean configuration missing something ?

I guess some library is missing because I download library à la carte

you download from here as a package instead of you download à la carte

setup GUIDELINE http://hibernate.org/validator/documentation/getting-started/

Import and include library below in your project

  • classmate-1.1.0.jar
  • javax.el-2.2.4.jar
  • javax.el-api-2.2.4.jar
  • jboss-logging-3.2.1.Final.jar
  • validation-api-1.1.0.Final.jar
  • hibernate-validator-5.2.2.Final.jar
  • hibernate-validator-annotation-processor-5.2.2.Final.jar
  • hibernate-validator-cdi-5.2.2.Final.jar

Then your code should be working.
