Hibernate Validator

I have an issue which is about using bean-validation api in Linux Server.

The problem is that bean validation works just fine in my local window PC. But when it runs in Cent OS. For some reasons, it does not work. I modified the log level to DEBUG to see the details of the problem. The folowing logs were shown.

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError:

Here’s my jars i used.

 <dependency> <groupId>javax.validation</groupId> <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId> <version>1.1.0.Final</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId> <version>5.1.3.Final</version> </dependency>

Hey,

There’s not enough information in the logs and versions to be sure, but you most likely have a version mismatch somewhere. Try running mvn dependency:tree and checking if the versions of Validator or ORM are the same through dependencies.

Also, note that 5.1.3.Final is EOL version. Consider upgrading to the latest.
