resteasy validation question

[matlach]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently facing an issue with the usage of the validation in rest service.

Here's my case :

@Path("/")
@Singleton
@ConcurrencyManagement(ConcurrencyManagementType.BEAN)
@SecurityDomain("MySecurityDomain")
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
public class MyService
{

    @Path("/testvalidation/{id}")
    @GET
    @ValidateRequest
    public Response testValidation(@PathParam("id") @Min(value=1) int id)
    {
        return Response.ok().build();
    }

}

That done, when going to /testvalidation/0 I'm expecting to get an IllegalArgumentException as 0 < 1.

Though, nothing happen, like if the annotation has no impact at all.

Do the usage of @ValidateRequest or any @javax.validation.constraints.... require a specific setup to work ? anything in standalone.xml ? beans.xml ? jboss-deployment-structure.xml ?

I'm deploying this on jboss as 7.1.2.Final and my service is bundled into a .jar inside an .ear.

Anyone ?

Big thanks,

Mathieu,

You need to add the resteasy-hibernatevalidator-provider to your WEB-INF/lib directory. That's what glues togheter resteasy and hibernate validator.

Thanks Andrei for the anwser,

though I'm deploying an .ear and not a .war should it be placed under the lib folder of the .ear ?

Mathieu, the idea is that resteasy finds the provider in your application's classpath... so yeah, put it in the lib of the .ear and it should work fine.
