feature to disable JSR-303 validation?

[cobbzilla]

I would like to use jcabi for annotations like @RetryOnFailure, @Async and @Cacheable, but whenever I run my tests I get the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.validation.Validator.forExecutables()Ljavax/validation/executable/ExecutableValidator;

The project I'm working on has an existing Jersey/JAX-RS project that already has validation configured (@Valid tags on method parameters are handled by the framework), using a customized/subclassed version of the Hibernate validator.

Is there any way to disable JSR-303 validation via jcabi, if it is already being provided by someone else?

@cobbzilla good question... Can you provide full stack trace please?

I've pasted a stack trace below. The signature for mypackage.AuthResource.login includes a parameter that is annotated with @Valid. My Jersey/JAX-RS container is already handling validation for this. It seems that when the jcabi aspects were woven-in at compile time, it added some code here that is messing up validation. Would it be possible to disable certain annotations in the maven plugin that handles the aspect-weaving stuff? That would be super helpful.

@yegor256 just pinging, would love to use your library but am still stuck here.

@cobbzilla it seems that you have two validating engines in the classpath. You should exclude hibernate-validator and try again. Most probably it's coming together with one of jcabi dependencies, but I'm not sure. Check the list of your deps and exclude it.
