How to disable JSR-303 validation [ValidationException: Unable to find a default prov

[marceloverdijk]

Hi,

I'm getting this error message:
javax.validation.ValidationException: Unable to find a default provider

The reason is I have javax.validation on my classpath but no implemetation (like Hibernate Validator).
The javax.validation is a transitive dependency caused by another 3th party library I have.

What I would like is to disable Spring to try to find an implementation as I'm not using the validation stuff.

What would be my best option?

Note that I'm using a JAva-based config setup (without xml)

I think you'd better try to avoid that dependency (in build script suppose?).
