Using @NotNull annotation for validation gives "No handler is defined"

[kajh]

Hi!

I'm trying to use a @org.springmodules.validation.bean.conf.loader.ann otation.handler.NotNull annotation on a property with annotation-based-validator and BeanValidator and get the following in my log:

 WARN 06.05 19:33:07:433 (AnnotationBeanValidationConfigurationLoader.java:handleMethodAnnotations:203) - No hanlder is defined for annotation 'org.springmodules.validation.bean.conf.loader.annotation.handler.NotNull'... Annotation will be ignored...

Other annotations (have tried @NotBlank and @MaxLength) seems to work just fine.

I'm using spring 2.0.4 and springmodules 0.8.

This is a know issue in 0.8, a typo in the source. Look into JIRA.

Thanks for answering! That was good news!

I have looked in jira, but can't find this issue. If someone have an url, feel free to post it

Now I see... it seems to be only a typo in the warning (see your posting).
NotNull works for me in 0.8.

I have testet a bit more... I see that @NotNull works just fine in testcases but when running my webapp I get this in the log:

WARN 08.05 09:28:33:98 (AnnotationBeanValidationConfigurationLoader.java:handleMethodAnnotations:203) - No hanlder is defined for annotation 'org.springmodules.validation.bean.conf.loader.annotation.handler.NotNull'... Annotation will be ignored...

I think it is a bit strange that it works just fine in the testcase but not when running the webapp. I run my unittest from eclipse and I have testet running the app both under resin and with mvn jetty:run with same result.

I have tested it in junit.

In tomcat it does not work at all with an annotation based validator:

Unable to locate NamespaceHandler for namespace http://www.springmodules.org/validation/bean/validator.

The webapp does not start

Hi!

A possible fix for this issue is described in http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=30092

In 0.8 the handler entry is already there. Does not work too

I had still a commons-lang.jar < V 2.3 in my webapps lib path, this caused the handler not to load under Java 1.6. My unit test suite had already the correct jar.
Solved

Thanks for the info!

I now see

WARN 10.05 12:30:34:428 (AnnotationBeanValidationConfigurationLoader.java:handleMethodAnnotations:203) - No hanlder is defined for annotation 'org.springmodules.validation.bean.conf.loader.annotation.handler.NotNull'... Annotation will be ignored...

also when running the testcases. I know I wrote earlier that I only saw this when running the app not the testcases. I might have looked in the wrong log or done some other mistake when chaing the logs.

Anyway.. I see this warning both when running the testcases and the app using resin or jetty.

i'm on java 1.5.0_07 on osx and are using commons-lang 2.3.
