After some new trials I found that to avoid the NPE with s:validate(All) I had to get an instance outjected by a bean and not through a method of this bean, i.e. "job.name" and not "jobEditor.entity.name".
Now I get this exception:

The validation by Hibernate is done but the exception is not caught by Seam to redisplay the input view.
Is it possible to use s:validate(All) in such a way? If yes I don't see what I did wrong.
