Maven using wrong version of javax.validation

Question

I have a dynamic web project I have been working on that uses hibernate as a jpa provider. Up until the last week, I could insert, update, query, and delete from my databas

Answer 1

Had the same issue as jekho, but solved it with:

    org.geotools
    gt-referencing
    22.3
    
        
            javax
            javaee-api
        
    

I found which dependency was using javaee-api by using maven's dependency:tree on my project which points out which packages are being used by which dependency.
