This is true. In order to work with draft v3 you can do one of two things:

* set the $schema appropriately in your schema(s) since the library
detects that;
* configure the JsonSchemaFactory so that the default version used is draft v3.

For the latter, you need to customize your validation configuration:

final ValidationConfiguration cfg = ValidationConfiguration.newBuilder()
.setDefaultVersion(SchemaVersion.DRAFT_V3).freeze();

final JsonSchemaFactory factory = JsonSchemaFactory.newBuilder()
.setValidationConfiguration(cfg).freeze();

However, defining $schema is preferred; this is a better choice for
interoperability purposes.

Hopes this helps,

Alright, I figured this was the case. I went ahead and defined the $schema to use v3 and it is working again. We will have to update our schema in the future to draft v4. Thanks for the quick response!
