Help with building GWT from source - javax.validation.ConstraintValidation cannot be resolved

[Tom K.]

I've downloaded both the main trunk version as well as the build under
releases/2.3, and both seem to have the same problem. I can get
everything built OK, and I'm not showing any errors in the output from
the build. When the build is complete, for some reason it labels the
final packaged build as gwt-0.0.0 (it does this using both the 2.3
release build as well as trunk). Everything seems to be fine and I
can deploy everything OK, up until I try and access my GWT app. When
I do, I get pages of errors because the import
javax.validation.ConstraintValidation cannot be resolved. I've tried
to figure out the numerous build scripts to figure out why this import
isn't included in my jar, but to no avail. Can anyone help me figure
out what I might be missing? This is my error log when I run my app:

Hi Tom,

Sounds like you're running an app that uses RequestFactory, which requires additional 3rd party dependencies on the server. These are available in gwt-servlet-deps.jar which you'll find in the gwt-0.0.0 dir. You just need to add it to your classpath.

If you're using Maven, the Expenses sample POM includes these for you.

By the way, the gwt-0.0.0 numbering is correct if you're building from trunk or the release branch, which hasn't been released yet.

Thanks for the quick reply.

That seemed to remove a bunch of my errors, but now I'm still left
with errors. Forgive my ignorance on how Java dependencies work, I
work primarily in C/C++, so I don't work in Eclipse as much as I
should.

I looked at Maven earlier today for the first time, but I seem so
close to getting it to run now, that I wanted to get it working first
before I attempted to get Maven working.

What I did was copy gwt-servlet-deps.jar into my project's
directory, and in Eclipse, I added it into the build path for my
project. It seems that gwt is still using it though, and isn't
finding the reference to it. Is there an ant setting I need to update
to include it in the gwt package, or did I just not add the dependency
correctly?

Here's my error output when I run:

.. need to add gwt-servlet-jar, validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar and
validation-api-1.0.0.GA-sources.jar to solve this.

Adding the validation-api to the classpath now results in
javax.validation.ValidationException: Unable to find a default provider
I do have gwt-servlet on the classpath as well, but it seems that without something like hibernate-validator (which is a provider), it doesn't find one.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks.
Eugen.

[Nick Chalko]

Correct you need hibernate-validator in your class path to generate Client Side validators. 

[Eugen Paraschiv]

I have indeed added it to the classpath, but the HibernateValidator.gwt.xml module is nowhere to be found.
Thanks for the feedback.
Eugen.

svn/trunk/user/src/org/hibernate/validator/HibernateValidator.gwt.xml  ?

[Nick Chalko]

Which is probably not included until gwt 2.4

 

 

[Eugen Paraschiv]

Saw it there. Ok so until 2.4 what is the recommended way of doing validation?

Not supported on the client.  And in 2.4 is still "experimental", it is my 20% project,  I hope to finish it this summer.   

[Eugen Paraschiv]

I understand. Validation is essential for something like GWT. Waiting for 2.4 then.
Thanks for the quick replies.
Eugen.
