I get a message

O WARN  org.richfaces.validator.ObjectValidator - Validator implementations not found at classpath, default NullValidator will be used.

the first time the Hibernate Validator should be called. Nothing is validated.

My annotated entity classes are all packed in a  seperate jar within the ear package. The Hibernate-Validator jars are  also packed in the ear in the lib directory.

I'm using JSF 1.2 (RI), Richfaces 3.3.3 and Hibernate Validator 4.1.0.Final

Is there some special directive for the classloader so that the validator classes are found?

Thanks
