SpringBoot Bean Validation error on JBoss EAP 6.4.2

JBoss EAP 6.4 uses al older version of Bean Validation than Spring Boot 1.3.0.M4, after excluding the libraries in question from the jboss deployment descriptor

<exclusions>
  <module name="org.hibernate.validator" />
  <module name="javax.validation.api" />
</exclusions>

I get the following exception

Error calling onStartup for servlet container initializer: org.springframework.web.SpringServletContainerInitialize          r: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationPropertiesBindingPostProcessor': Invocation of in          it method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.validation.spi.ConfigurationState.getParameterNameProvider()Ljavax/validation/ParameterNameProvider;

Can you update your description to provide the actual stacktrace please? Spring Framework is making sure to guard calls to the Bean validation 1.1 API so I'd be curious to understand where the error is actually coming from.

updated with stacktrace

Comment From: snicoll

You have the wrong hibernate validator dependency. Look closer at the stacktrace, it is failing in hibernate validator itself, not spring boot

Yeah it seems JBoss is still forcing the old lib it ships with even though I excluded the modules. Thanks!.

Comment From: cleankod

Have you found any solution for this exclusion not working? I have the same problem with JBoss EAP 7.4...

Hi,

I am currently facing the similar issue , I tried to create a new slots for the validation and persistence api to update to the latest version of apis , but still it is not excluding the default libraries .
