hibernate-validator

spring doc I have read the following spring documentation: By default, the LocalValidatorFactoryBean configures a SpringConstraintValidatorFactory that uses Spring to create ConstraintValidator instances. This allows your custom ConstraintValidators to benefit from dependency injection like any other Spring bean.

Please, explain I didn't understand documentation or I wrong configured something? Use Spring

I have a problem with displaying custom ValidationMessages of Hibernate Validator in UTF-8. For common jsf messages I followed this advice: i18n with UTF-8 encoded properties files in JSF 2.0 appliaction - I created class Text and used it in faces-config.xml. This is working properly. But this approach is not working with ValidationMessages; special characters are not displayed in UTF-8. Could anyone give me some advice about this?

I have a strange behaviour when I validate my form. As soon as I add the Hibernate @Valid annotation, Tomcat consided my request as "bad" if the posted data are not valid. If the data are valid, no worries. I use: Tomcat 7.0.52 Javax Validation api 1.1.0.Final Hibernate Validator 5.1.0.Final Spring 4.0.3.RELEASE At the moment, I do a really simple validation: public class RemoveCacheElementForm { @NotBlank(message = "Please select a cache name.") private String name; @NotBlank(message = "Please select a cache entry key.") private String key; The Spring controller: /** * Handler to remove one
