Here's my problem:
I develop a web application based on spring-boot, the autowired annotation of spring works in every layers except for this interface "javax.validation.Validator".
When I'm trying to autowired "javax.validation.Validator" in my validator like this:
@Component
public class BrandValidator{
@Autowired
private javax.validation.Validator validator;
I've got this exception: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [javax.validation.Validator] found for dependency
First I was thinking that no bean was available for this class in the spring context but actually when I list the bean available at the run time (after commenting the Autowired annotation on my validator) I see that this bean is available :
"mvcValidator" with the following type OptionalValidatorFactoryBean (this class extend LocalValidatorFactoryBean and LocalValidatorFactoryBean implements javax.validation.Validator and org.springframework.validation.Validator you can see here http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/validation.html)
I have try to add the @Qualifier(value ="mvcValidator") annotation but I got the same exception.
The strange part is that I m able to autowire the "spring" validator (org.springframework.validation.Validator) class perfectly well :
@Autowired
private org.springframework.validation.Validator validatorSpring;
I see in debug mode that the OptionalValidatorFactoryBean present in the context is injected.
And finally if I autowire org.springframework.validation.Validator just before javax.validation.Validator like this :
@Component
public class BrandValidator{
//workaround
@Autowired
private org.springframework.validation.Validator validatorSpring;
@Autowired
private javax.validation.Validator validator;
Now javax.validation.Validator is correctly injected(In debug mode I see that both validators the same object OptionalValidatorFactoryBean). I really don't understand what is going when the context is loaded and I really don't like this workaround (I don't need org.springframework.validation.Validator in my class).
Any idea how correctly inject javax.validation.Validator with spring boot ?
