Injection of Validator in AS7 vs WildFly 8.1

[meetoblivion]

Recently, I ported an application from AS7.1.1 to WildFly 8.1.  Everything worked fine except for Bean Validation injection.  For some reason, in AS7, this worked fine:

@Inject

private Validator validator;

In WildFly this didn't work.  Based on docs, this should have worked:

@Resource

private Validator validator;

with a failure saying that there was no such name  com.mycompany.MyBean/validator.  Overriding to @Resource(lookup="java:comp/Validator") worked fine.

Is @Inject supposed to work for Validators in WildFly 8.1?

I'm not sure what's failing. Are you saying @Resource injection of Validator is failing or @Inject of the Validator? Also can you please post the relevant class and the exception/error logs?

I think it might be even simpler than I originally stated.

Take a look at ValidatorTest in this git repo: https://github.com/johnament/hornetq-jms-issue

The expected result is that the validator interceptor is wrapped around ValidatingSLSB because the method is annotated @NotNull for the input argument.  What happens in WildFly 8.1 is that I get

Caused by: org.jboss.arquillian.test.spi.ArquillianProxyException: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.IllegalArgumentException : WELD-001456: Argument bean must not be null [Proxied because : Original exception caused: class java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.IllegalArgumentException]
