Spring mockMvc doesn't consider validation in my test

Question

I am trying to set up an integration testing with mockMvc, and i have a problem with it. Indeed, spring doesn\'t integrate any validation annotation.
For more precisio

Answer 1

Ok, I have just found what is responsible for the fact that validation was not consider by mockmvc. It's just a bad dependency in my pom:

I used

    org.hibernate
    hibernate-validator
    5.1.0.Final

and when i replaced it by

    javax.validation
    validation-api
    1.0.0.GA


    org.hibernate
    hibernate-validator
    4.1.0.Final

the test work just fine!

the problem is solved, but I am wondering why the problem comes from this part. hibernate-validator 5.1.0.Final include javax validation in transitive dependency, so normally, this problem would never have appeared.
