BeanCreationException

[Ashton Thomas]

This looks like a spring problem (GWT/roo generated scaffold -> from
the updated and maybe incomplete source code)

No errors in the project and I'm a little lost on this one. Any help
is greatly appreciated....

I just deleted javax.validation dependency from my maven pom.xml file
and the BeanCreationError has gone away, this may not be the way to go
(I am not using Hibernate or any persistence stuff right now)

Farhaan,

Hi,

After deleting validation-api.jar from classpath, Can you able to do validation using JSR 303 annotation

You need to have validation-api.jar in the classpath (of both javac and the GWT compiler at least; GWT is not concerned with server-side validation), but you need to pick the right version: GWT implements validation-api 1.0.0.GA, it's likely incompatible with 1.1.0.Final. Similarly, you must use Hibernate Validator 4.1.0.Final, and no other version. But as I said, this is only for client-side validation, you can use whatever you like on the server side though.
