Seam Hibernate upgrade validator issue

[dvrajitha]

Hi,

I have upgrade an Hibernate 3.X app to 5.X. Now i am getting NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/validator/ClassValidator. The reason could be that validator now moved to a new package.

How this can be resolved??

Thank you.

Seam 2.x is not maintained or developed, so upgrades of its dependencies is not what you should do if you don't hack Seam code

I guess you opened pandora's box with an upgrade like this and this could results with cascading upgrades of all hibernate dependencies and related dependencies.

Thank you for the feedback.

Actually i have opened the pandora's box and now i am seeing how beautiful it is.

What is your idea?? Seam 3.X is also not active isnt it?

What you need is CDI/Weld and Deltaspike aas a replacement, forget on Seam, it is in heaven.

Yes i can feel that i am in heaven now.

Thank you very much. This is bit of a complex app that was the reason to continue the existing technology stack.

Hi Marek,

Could you please let me know if i downgrade application to hibernate 4.2 which is supporting by 2.3 version of seam will that be a possible way to deploy application in Wildfly 10? Or will there be any other conflicts as well. I am going through your migration guide as well. There are considerable updates that needed to be done.

Anyway i feel updating to DeltaSpike is the best solution.

Thank you.
