Hibernate-validatior: Why is the MyCustomConstraintValidator not a managed instance in the weld-se container?

Hibernate Validator

Hello All,
In our project we are testing jpa database access with the weld-junit5 framework. The EntityManager is injected via CDI into the test class. A Bean Validation (hibernate-validator) is present in the classpath and the entity is annotated with a custom validator which implements ConstraintValidator.
So everythink works as expected and when the em.persist(entity) function is called the isValid(…) Method is also called.
The problem is, that the isValid( ) method needs a cdi-injected intstance:

public class MyValidator implements ConstraintValidator<MyValidation, TestEntity> { @Inject private MyDao myDao; // is null @Override public void initialize(MyValidation constraintAnnotation) { System.out.println("init..."); } @Override public boolean isValid(TestEntity testEntity, ConstraintValidatorContext constraintValidatorContext) { //null pointer exception is thrown here return myDao.isValid(); } public MyDao getMyDao() { return myDao; } }

The question is now: How can I turn this custom validator to a cdi bean managed instance? Is there way to get the validator instance via a simple method in order to register it with the BeanManager?

Another approach could be this way (hibernate-validator-cdi):

... import org.hibernate.validator.cdi.HibernateValidator; import org.hibernate.validator.cdi.ValidationExtension; ... @Inject @HibernateValidator private Validator validator; ... @Produces public EntityManagerFactory produceEntityManagerFactory() { // how can I force that the em uses the injected validator? }

How can I force that the em uses the injected validator?

Thanks in advance for every hint,

Tom

This solution uses the injected validation:

@ApplicationScoped public class EntityManagerFactoryProducer { @Inject private BeanManager beanManager; @Inject @HibernateValidator private ValidatorFactory validatorFactory; @Produces public EntityManagerFactory produceEntityManagerFactory() { Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap(); props.put("javax.persistence.bean.manager", beanManager); props.put("javax.persistence.validation.factory", validatorFactory); EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("entityManagerFactory", props); return entityManagerFactory; } public void close(@Disposes EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) { entityManagerFactory.close(); } }
