Compiling domain objects with Objectify annotations fails during code generation

[Koen Maes]

Hi

I am compiling my code because I want to see if it works with GAE.

I managed to keep the same server and client side domain objects and in development I use hibernate-validator for server side and gwtvf for client side validation. I specified this flag 

"-Dgwt.validation.excluded.ValidatorClassesRegexp=^org.hibernate.*" to make that happen in development mode.

My domain objects have Objectify persistence annotations but that doesnt bother in DevMode.

When I compile the client code, I have to specifically make sure hibernate-validations is not on the classpath, so I got that far. But now I am facing compilation problems during code generation from the GWTVF at compile time.

GWTVF does not like the Objectify annotations at compile time :

Fixed by including the objectify jar in the client classpath.

Next compile problem is this  :

     [java]    [ERROR] Errors in 'jar:file:/home/koen/workspace/klawt/lib/gwt-validation-2.0-BETA-SNAPSHOT-r276.jar!/com/em/validation/emul/com/em/validation/client/ConstraintValidatorFactoryImpl.java'

     [java]       [ERROR] Line 36:  Failed to resolve 'javax.validation.ConstraintValidatorFactory' via deferred binding

The only implementation i can find in my project (which works in DevMode), is in the hibernate-validator, which I must exclude for compilation.

Are the javax.validation source libraries (not just the binary jar) on
your classpath?
