Problems With Bean Validator and Wildfly 9
I have an application running on Wildfly 8.2 and I am trying to port it to Wildfly 9. After working through the initial classpath / module dependencies, I have reached a problem that I am so far unable to resolve. When deploying my application, I am receiving the following error:

I declare these module dependencies in my ejb-jar.xml file (org.hibernate,org.hibernate.validator,org.hibernate.validator.cdi) but the problem persists. So, I added them to my ear/lib directory to work around the problem. It has, but now I have a new issue that seems related:

Any guidance on the proper way to configure bean validation in wildfly 9 would be helpful. It appears to be different than 8.2.
