JSR-303 dependency injection and Hibernate

Question

Spring 3.0.2, Hibernate 3.5.0, Hibernate-Validator 4.0.2.GA

I am trying to inject Spring dependencies into a ConstraintValidator using:

@PersistenceC         


        

Answer 1

There is also the option to pass the ValidatorFactory as property to the entity manager creation using the property javax.persistence.validation.factory. If there is a ValidatorFactory instance stored under this property, the entity manager uses this validator factory instead of creating a new one.
