Trouble starting Hibernate Validator due to Bean Validation API
For me, the 1.1.0.Final version javax.validation.validation-api had worked. Because, the javax.validation.spi.ConfigurationState interface of 1.1.0.Final has getParameterNameProvider method, which was absent in 1.0.0.GA.
I added the below dependency in pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
<artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0.Final</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
I had the problem again. Thats how I've fixed that:
1-Exclude spring.validator from the 'web' dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.hibernate.validator</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
2-After insert the dependecy with a previous version:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>5.1.3.Final</version>
</dependency>
Try adding this dependency to your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
<artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.GA</version>
</dependency>
If not consider using hibernate-validator4.2.0.Final I have that one in my config and it is working fine.
